Artists in the Garden
Full—Waitlist Started
Monday, July 22, 2019 through Friday, July 26, 2019 – 9:00 am–3:30 pm
Children tap their inner artist, learn new skills, and get a taste of using nature in their artwork.
Inspired by the Arboretum's various theme gardens, campers work with natural materials collected from the garden, paints, clay, and other art supplies as they create a new project each day.
With an emphasis on building confidence and observation skills, this camp concludes with an art show for parents, a great way for children to show off what they've learned.
Enrollment is limited to 16 campers. Campers bring lunch and snack.
