Art Campers may attend morning courses, afternoon courses or both for a full day of Art Camp. However, we strongly recommend that 6-8 year-olds not register for a full day. Concentrating on art for more than five hours per day can result in serious burnout for our youngest artists. Those registered for the full day can bring a non-perishable lunch, drink and snack and will be supervised during a 30-minute lunch break.
