Summer Art Camps
Children are invited to attend a one-week art camp during the months of June, July, and August. Throughout the week, students work on three to four art projects. At the end of the week, each student’s favorite piece is framed and matted and put on display for three months at Manitou’s Young Artists Gallery. At the end of the show, the framed artwork is returned to the student. Each week provides two levels, one for students entering 2nd and 3rd grades, and a second session for students entering 4th–6th grades. For info, contact The Sandbar Café 517.252.5560 — sandbarcafe.cafe
