Week Three: Crafty Creatures

June 24 - 28

Attention all animal enthusiasts: GDAC has put together an exciting art camp that’s all about animals, mythical creatures, and crafty companions! Our creative venture will explore how to create animals and creatures in various mediums, including clay, hand sewing, painting, drawing, and more! Our experienced art instructors will unveil an array of projects each day that will spark all campers’ creative abilities and imaginations. At the end of the day on June 28, campers will display an exhibit of their masterpieces for family and friends to see.

Two sessions will take place concurrently throughout the week for both age groups: 6 to 9-year-olds and 10 to 13-year-olds. Age groups will switch classes after lunch. Classes are limited to 20 students. Full-day and half-day options available. See below for the schedule of classes.
