CMA's Summer Art Camp is a unique opportunity for young artists, ages 6-13, to hone their skills, meet other like-minded artist friends, and engage in Visual Thinking Strategies both in the galleries and in the studio classroom! All sessions are taught by professional artists or licensed art educators.
Once registration closes, camp will be divided by the amount of students registered into developmentally-appropriate age groups (usually ranging from ages 6-10 and 11-13). Each camp runs for 5 days.
