If you are looking for a fun and exciting creative outlet for your children this summer, look no further than Piedmont Arts’ summer day camps. With three sessions running in June for grades K-5, there is something exciting for everyone to try and avenues for all kinds of self-expression. Camp choices this year include the beloved Art Camp and the inaugural Curtains Up! Theatre Camp. Each camp is $80 for members and $90 for non-members, with a special discount for students taking both Art Camp and Theatre Camp on the week of June 12.
In Art Camp, campers will explore a variety of artistic techniques, styles and materials. An art show will take place at the end of camp, showcasing campers’ work for their families to enjoy. For grades K-2, class meets daily June 5 – 9 from 9 a.m. to noon each day. For grades 3-5, camp meets daily June 12-16 from 9 a.m. to noon. Advanced registration is required.
At the museum’s first-ever Curtains Up! Theater Camp for grades 3–5, children will get an opportunity to learn everything they need to take center stage. Theatre is an art rooted in creative self-expression and creative imagination. Campers will learn the foundation of theatre skills that will culminate in a small performance for friends and families at the end of the week. Camp meets daily June 12-16 from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. Advanced registration is required.
