Thanksgiving Camp: Abstract Expressionist Painting
In this one-day painting camp, our artists will explore abstract forms and abstract techniques as they create their own abstract scrape painting. Our students will play with color combinations, experiment with layering, and create their own abstract movements and designs using paint. At the end of the day, everyone will take home an expressive and colorful masterpiece!
Thanksgiving Basketball Camp
Our social distanced fundamental camp focus on all of the fundamentals of basketball evenly. Kids will be required to bring their own ball in order to minimize any sharing and our staff will handle the rest! Temperature checks will be conducted daily for all staff and participants, and there will be ample amount of hand sanitizer available upon arrival.
My 11-year old son really enjoyed this camp. The counselors were great and kept the kids active and engaged. The Director was really helpful and accommodating.
