YOUTH ARTS IMMERSION AT McCOLL CENTER
Creativity Camp is a series of week-long, half-day art camps designed for young artists ages 7-16 to spark imagination, encourage self-discovery, and make lifelong connections to many expressions of art.
Each week-long camp will meet daily from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. at McColl Center, led by a professional artist who will teach skills in a particular medium and give individual support. Supplies and a detailed lesson plan will be included. In the courses of the camp moderated by McColl Center staff, students will develop technical and conceptual skills with their peers while producing an impressive body of work. At the conclusion of each week, family and friends are invited to experience an Artwork Showcase that will highlight the students’ work.
