4-DAY CAMP FOR AGES 7-12
Love to draw and shadowy storytelling?! Join us for some old-timey illustration inspired by American Gothic writer and illustrator Edward Gorey. Let’s explore the world of fancy-fine-line drawing, graphic story-telling and dark humour in this week of drawing and doodling.
Our Summer Camps are designed to inspire 36 young artists each week! Led by ECFTA Arts Educators and 7 summer student staff, camp will take place in our cheery Art Classroom and sunny Sparrow’s Nest Maker Space.
Camps are a balance of guided-art instruction and open-flow exploration, along with outdoor fresh air play as always!
Come prepared for a great week!
- A mid-morning snack and lunch
- A nut-free afternoon snack will be offered to keep the energy going
- Refillable water bottle
- A spare set of clothes is encouraged for the week
- Dress for the weather and for art-making!
Please contact us with any questions or concerns.
