Paradise Valley Summer Camps

5 days, 4 nights, inclusive

Young artists ages 9 - 15 will explore their surroundings in the beautiful setting of Paradise Valley. This environment provides an ideal source to explore concepts of form and colour. Students will receive in-depth instruction in collage, drawing, painting and printmaking. Working in small studio groups, teachers support individual skill development and artistic voice. This week long camp is thoughtfully balanced with outdoor recreation and studio time.
