Arts and Crafts Camp
Ages 8 and up Monday August 10th – Saturday August 15th 9am – 1pm The Big Picture Theater and Cafe – 48 Carroll Rd, Waitsfield, VT 05673 Led by artist Anna Jarecki (madboarddesign.com) $400 per camper
Join us for a fun, creative, and hands-on week of art-making! This week-long camp, running Monday through Friday from 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM, is designed for kids ages 8 and up who are excited to make some art, explore their creative side, and do it all in a supportive environment. Campers will be guided through a variety of creative experiences that encourage creativity, experimentation, confidence, and self-expression.

Each day, campers will have the option to dive into different mediums – ranging from painting and mixed media to sculpture and design – working on unique, engaging projects that keep the week fresh and exciting. During the week, the group will also collaborate on a special outdoor art piece designed to live on-site as a semi-permanent installation, giving campers a chance to contribute to something lasting and meaningful.

All materials, as well as snacks and drinks, will be provided – just bring your creativity! There will also always be another adult helping the kids on their work and keeping them safe!
To celebrate the week’s work, we’ll host a Friday evening Art Showcase, where campers can proudly display their creations for family and friends. The artwork will remain on display throughout the weekend for the community to enjoy.

Please complete one form for each child who will be attending camp. We will send you an email closer to the dates about what to expect and any additional information. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to me at jareckianna@gmail.com.
