You’ll be immersed in the creative world, and get an exciting introduction to career opportunities as well. Experience different workshops and styles of art as you learn throughout the week!

Activities

Each day will be filled not only with creative and exciting workshops but also daily fun group challenges called “Art Attack.”
Most importantly, we will be having a daily group devotion time where we dive into answering some real questions about art, beauty and creativity from God’s perspective.
At the end of the week, we will display the art that you and your fellow campers have created, along with a brief awards presentation your family and friends are welcome to attend.
