Escape to warm tropical places at least in your imagination.  In this vacation art camp, you'll sail away on boats you create to places where you can feel the warm sun and sand.  You'll get to play in the water as you create scenes from our visit.  You'll plant, build castles, and put on your beach wear as we make tropical art using lots of different materials.  Wear your sunglasses.  A materials fee of $10 is due the first day.
