Camp For the Arts!
Campers participate in art inspired activities, group time, independent projects, special events, and more! Campers have the opportunity to explore the world around them and have a fun and meaningful camp experience. The emphasis is on creativity, exploration, making friends and the YMCA character values of Caring, Respect, Honesty, and responsibility.
We offer a wide range of non-competitive fine and performing arts activities in a fun, friendly camp setting. Each week offers campers the opportunity to work both individually and in groups on projects that nurture their creative imaginations and expand their artistic abilities. Each week offers new projects and activities.
While in the arts, children will explore a variety of Art media and techniques, with projects including drawing, painting, printmaking, sculpture, and more!
