Summer Art Camps (ages 10-17) at The Mayflower Arts Center
Summer Art Camps, Ages 10-17
The Mayflower Arts Center is pleased to unveil its third season of 18+ exciting camps for our young artists this summer! Each art camp is designed to heighten the imaginations of our young artists through creative and technical exploration. Artists will incorporate the techniques they learn through both individual and collaborative works. At the conclusion of the camp, each artist will have the opportunity to present and exhibit their creations in a Gallery Exhibit/Artist Reception on Friday evening from 5:00-6:00pm. The Gallery Exhibit will be open to the public. Friends and families are always encouraged to attend.
We offer two separate 4-day tracks -- every week -- for 8 different weeks, June 16- August 7. Morning art camps (9am-noon) are for children ages 5-9 and afternoon art camps (1-4pm) are for children ages 10+. Camp weeks run every Tuesday-Friday, except our 2-week performance camps (improv and jr. theatre) which are as noted in the camp descriptions below.
Due to the hands-on and individualized instruction offered during these camps, we must limit each camp to 15 artists. We anticipate our camps will fill up quickly, so be sure to enroll as soon as possible.
