Where Do We Have Our Outdoor Camps?
In the great outdoors around Fairfield and within a five mile radius. On hot summer days, the kids tend to want to head to cooler spots so we can be seen splashing around the Rooster River, Sasco Beach, Lake Mohegan…and other nearby spots. We encourage car pools and provide a list of students in the camp to make it easier for parents.
What Ages Do We Serve?
Our classes range from, but are not limited to, K-8th grade in a family-like environment. Students entering high school are welcome and we have begun working with pre-schoolers as well. We encourage our older students to help out if needed, and also try to provide them with their own space to create so it’s a win-win–they feel like leaders and the younger kids enjoy their company. We are always within earshot, and require a respectful decorum with the students. We are always quite impressed with how well mannered the artists of all ages are.
What Do The Kids Bring to Camp?
We ask that each artist bring shoes that can get wet (Tevas, Keenes or knockoffs are great, but no need to go out and buy a new pair, Priscilla often wears old sneakers). No art supplies needed–we supply them.
Please bring a snack and drink, be sunscreened, and wear a hat. We’ll carry it in a pack or wagon.
