Description
Program cost: $100
Ready to bring stories to life? In this camp, we’ll dive into the bold, whimsical world where books and art collide! You’ll explore the signature styles of iconic illustrators and artists, then remix what you learn into your own creations—characters, scenes, patterns, and mixed-media masterpieces. Expect hands-on projects, creative games, and teamwork activities that keep things fun and stress-free. No pressure to be “perfect”—this camp is all about curiosity, experimentation, and rediscovering your imagination through the eyes of a child. Come create with us!
For any students with food allergies, we recommend students bring their own lunch as we cannot guarantee being able to accommodate all allergies.
