Arts Activities

Each day, children are given the opportunity to engage in a wide variety of visual arts projects and techniques ranging from crafts projects to painting, printmaking and sculpture. All artwork is yours to take home at the end of the session. Children are taught traditional technical skills but will also be encouraged to work on original creations and are given freedom to use their imaginations creative problem-solving. The Vacation Arts Program is a non-competitive environment that encourages each young artist to develop their interests, grow in their own personal style, and work with others as they explore the world of art.
