Be part of a fun summer tradition at this summer's Arts Jam. Classes in visual art, music, and theatre are part of each day at this multi-arts camp. Campers are divided into groups by age and enjoy a rich variety of unusual and fun hands-on activities in each class. Daily field trips after lunch are arts related. This year's theme is Family Connections. On Thursday, there is an end-of-the-week open house for parents and friends.
More details and camper rules will be sent to all registered campers a week or so before camp begins. Advanced registration is required; fill out the registration form and return it to the office. This camp often fills before the deadline.
