Artful Yard camp: Up in the Air (morning session)

ABOUT: At Artful Yard we believe that children are hard-wired for creativity. Exploring the creative process for young minds is crucial for their natural learning and enjoyment of making. Our art sessions are designed with age appropriate projects and media that encourage inspiration, learning, skill development, art mediums and tools, and lots of playful fun! Sessions are for students between the ages of 5-11 (generally). Sessions cost $250 per student and $225 for each additional sibling (USE CODE SIBLING25 when adding a sibling at check out). Camps are capped at 12 students to foster a sense of community among classes and ensure that all students receive adequate attention and care. Parents can choose between morning sessions (9am-noon) or afternoon sessions (1pm-4pm) during the weeks when sessions are offered.
