Art camp takes place at my studio, back yard and Robbins Farm Park from 9-12 am. I have a teenage assistant with me and the campers range from 5-11yrs old. We play with versatile materials, do a variety of art projects, play games, read stories and run at the park! The 3 hour morning gives us time to play with sand, clay, bubbles, water, ramps and balls and blocks. We also get to know the slugs, centipedes, earth worms, millipedes and ants in the backyard.
