Reservations for the Wednesday, Nov. 11, camp are first-come, first-served, so register your child today. Enrollment closes at 5 p.m. Friday, Nov. 6.

The event will feature ArtPlay’s teaching artists and is a great opportunity for kids to explore many different forms of art — music, visual arts, dance and more. This one-day mini-camp will be a mental break from schoolwork for children. Screen breaks are also scheduled throughout the day.

Day camp will run from 9 a.m.-3 p.m. on Veterans Day over Zoom, entirely virtually. The cost is $50. Supplies are provided and will be available for pickup on ArtPlay’s front porch; pickup dates will be sent in the camp registration confirmation email.
