Description
Sprinkled with multicultural, modern & contemporary artists, each camp offers 3 inspirational art projects a day! (Limited Spaces, Register Early!)
“The best day EVER!” My 8 and 5 year olds came home from a three hour class at Claire’s Creative Adventures and that is what they said on the way home. The girls made 3 different projects. They learned and tried something new with each one. I was so impressed as it was far better than what else they experienced. We even got pictures and a written lesson on what they learned. WOW.” -Michelle A.
