Summer Art Camp at CacheARTS guides students aged 5-11 through a rotation of classes in different art forms including art, ceramics, cooking, music, dance, and drama. There is a brief performance and art exhibition on the last day of each camp. This sampling of classes allows students to try out many different art forms to discover interests and talents. Art Camp holds six classes each day. Each class is an hour long and has up to 15 students at a time. Some of the lessons should relate to the camp themes; however, emphasis should be placed on introducing artistic processes and principles through the learning activities. We hope their short time with us will get students excited about taking more in-depth classes in the future.
