Summer Arts Camp Information
Summer Arts Camp is two weeks of daily classes in visual arts, ceramics, digital photography, theatre, dance, and music that cover a range of topics within each discipline. Classes are small and organized by age group or topic. An additional recreation period is offered after lunch each day. Girls and boys aged 7 - 15 gain artistic and social skills as instructors focus on the learning process as well as final works of art.
The Registration Process
When registration opens for the 2009 season, you can register by phone or mail by downloading a registration form. Once your regsitration is complete, including tuition payment, you can expect a registration packet in the mail soon after the specified mailing dates throughout the spring.
The registration packet is full of information for Summer Arts Camp families including schedules, allergy and medical forms, contact information and, most importantly, detailed course descriptions and a course selection sheet.
Note that all course selections are first-come first-serve. The State of CT mandates our class sizes. The best way to get the courses your child wants is to be prompt in returning the selection form, which can be mailed in separately from the rest of the packet materials.
The Summer Arts Camp staff puts a lot of thought into our curriculum to ensure that all Summer Arts Camp classes are engaging, fun and exciting learning experiences.

and what fun, exciting and creative stuff is in store for
Summer Arts Camp 2009!
