ABOUT ALLENS LANE SUMMER ART CAMP:
Allens Lane Art Center Summer Art Camp is a fun, creative, and enriching experience for campers ages 5-15. Following our mission of making the arts accessible to our entire community, campers experience a variety of creative outlets. This year, each week will bring a new art workshop, medium, and theme to discover. Campers will participate in half-day visual arts, and half-day performing arts, ranging in painting, drawing, mixed media, ceramics, improv, character creation, script writing, dance, and more! Each day will also include fun outdoor activities in the surrounding Allens Lane Park. During Summer Art Camp, young artists will discover and hne their creativity and share it through weekly Friday afternoon showcases!
