SUMMER ART CAMPS

K SPACE SUMMER ART CAMPS
K Space Summer Art Camps offer fun-filled creative learning experiences for students ages 11-17.
Immersed in ART for the entire week, campers gain an understanding of the creative process in the visual arts through practice. Students improve their artistic skills while learning problem solving skills that can be applied to all areas of study. This is seriously fun creativity!
Camps begin at 9 am and end at 4 pm. Healthy snacks are provided; however, students will need to bring a snack lunch.
We use art materials that can stain clothing, so dress accordingly or bring an apron. All art supplies are provided. We’ll also have brief yoga sessions on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
