Teaching artists and counselors have been leading activities in the visual and performing arts, engaging campers while they make new friends and have fun. Each week campers explore music, art, dance, and drama in units throughout the day.

This year’s camp theme is “Celebrate Creativity & Cultures,” and so far campers have explored African Safaris, the Amazon, Europe, and more. Camp continues every week until Sept. 1. Upcoming themes include “Celebrate… An Expedition in India,” the week of Aug. 8; “Visual Art Intensive,” the week of Aug. 15; “Celebrate…Space Exploration, the week of Aug. 22; and “Celebrate… The American Landscape,” the week of Aug. 29.

Full-day camps run from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. and half-day camps run from 9 a.m., until noon each day. Before and after care is available.
