Arts Summer Day CampSummer Camp Update - There will be three different day camp programs offered this summer. We are seeking volunteers who would like to be part of the 2022 Day Camp Committee. If you know of individuals who would be a great fit for Cloverbud Day Camp, Art Day Camp, or Cardboard Day Camp opportunities for the summer of 2022, please contact Tracy at tracy.keifenheim@wisc.edu. The planning for many of these opportunities is done over the next couple of months.
Art Day Camp is a camp for youth to learn different art skills. We are seeking volunteers and youth to be part of this camp planning committee and to help run the camp. This is a new opportunity. The camp would be 3-4 days and each day would focus on a different art media. The committee would decide the format of the camp and which topics would be covered. The art projects are some of the most popular projects youth enroll in. We want to support them with learning experiences and different project opportunities. If you are interested or know someone who would be a good fit, please contact Tracy.
