THE “ALL KINDS OF ART” SALEM ART ASSOCIATION SUMMER CAMPS
The “All Kinds of Art” summer camp allows children to explore a new medium each day. From printmaking to drawing to painting, clay, and photography, SAA Teaching Artists will support and nurture your child’s curiosity and love for all kinds of art.
In addition to hands-on art-making activities, every day will include a mini “walking field trip” to the Bush House Museum and in beautiful Bush’s Pasture Park.
Each session of the “All Kinds of Art” Summer Camps begins in the Bush House Museum. Depending on the art medium of the day, the Museum will engage children in an exploration of its collection of historic prints, paintings, ceramics, photographs or furnishings. The welcoming house museum environment provides a perfect opportunity for children to experience fine, decorative and folk arts in a nurturing setting.
All art supplies and a daily snack are provided to all campers.
