GENERAL ART CAMP INFORMATION:
Summer is one of the highlights of our year! It is a time when we offer a wide variety of specialized art camps designed to stimulate the imagination and attract the individual interests of children (ages 5 to 14).
Every year new and exciting art camp projects are designed by CFAC staff and Penn State art education - art majors and grad students who work as camp instructors. [Interested in teaching at a camp? Click here.]
This synergetic teaming benefits both campers and art instructors by exposing our campers to a vibrant, innovative arts and crafts curriculum while at the same time giving our instructors valuable teaching experiences. Outdoor play and field trips to various on-campus locations enhance the camp experience.
Camp sessions are 2 weeks long and meet Monday through Friday. There are three sessions of art camps each summer, and there's enough variety for your child to attend all summer and never take the same camp twice! You can register for a half day (9am to noon; 1pm to 4pm) or a full day (9am to 4pm- lunch is supervised).
Mixed media, painting and drawing, printmaking, nature, music and fantasy, cultural art, papermaking, wheel-thrown pottery, and photography are just some of the variety of art camps offered each summer.
