More paper please!
When I was a kid, I could not get enough paper. I LOVED to draw and craved the encouragement, space and supplies it took to be an artist. We have created a camp that emphasizes the art of drawing and painting, but with some fun “campy” twists too. I believe these camps will be perfect for kids who LOVE art, drawing and painting, and are ready to take their talent and skills to the next level. They will even get a real artist portfolio, along with some great drawing supplies to continue their new skills as home! How cool is that! ~Kim
