Art & Pottery Camps: Sign Up Now!
Art and pottery camps at The Blooming Paintbrush Studio are a combination of fun and learning. All learning happens through doing hands-on projects. Camp sizes are kept small in order to provide individualized attention. Projects are varied.
Age range for summer camp is 5 and up. All materials are included for all the camps. Students can do either morning or afternoon sessions. There is a discount of $25 for double registration, that is if you enroll for both the morning and afternoon camps. The kids can stay over during the lunch hour. A snack will be provided during morning and afternoon but please pack a sack lunch, if your kids stay over for lunch. I have other camp councilor besides me. If weather permits we have fun with water activities in my garden. I have a beautiful and fenced-in garden where the campers are free to explore and do outdoor activities.
