Art Camp 2024 - Art Rapids! 4 day camp, 2 age groups

Dates: July 9-12; 10 am - 12 pm. For ages 6-8 years. Cost: $125. Enrollment period - April 5 until filled. This camp is for the younger set and is a great way to explore our living Great Lakes and sculpt with clay. We’ll use our imaginations and explore the same subjects as the older group, but additional support and smaller class size will support young artists in their clay hand-building activities. Students register for all four days of the workshop. On the fourth day, families of students and others interested are invited to participate in creative activities focused on Great Lakes fish and take home an original piece of art. Sculptures will be installed in the park the following spring. Dates: July 9-12; 1-4 pm. For ages 9-15 years. Cost: $175. Enrollment period - April 5 until filled. Fish of all shapes and sizes inhabit the bay’s watery ecosystem. The health of the Great Lakes depends on the native fish that roam this liquidy world. In this camp, we’ll use observation, visual aids, and drawing to study these underwater creatures and inspire ceramic sculptures to represent them. The finished hand-built sculptures will be mounted and displayed on the park’s Bayshore Beach the following spring. Students register for all four days of the workshop. On the fourth day, families of students and others interested are invited to participate in creative activities focused on Great Lakes fish and take home an original piece of art.
