Pride Arts Studio: Paint, Sculpt & Print
Pride Arts Studio invites campers in grades 2-10 to express themselves while exploring a variety of artistic mediums and techniques. Each two-week session features two distinct focus areas, allowing campers to spend one week developing skills in each.
Campers may enroll in one, two or all three sessions. Each session introduces different skills and projects, so campers who attend all summer enjoy a new creative experience every time.
