Creative Me Art Studio www.creativemeartstudio.com
Our Creative Me Summer Camp Program promotes exploration and discovery of the art world. To help foster that growth we give our students the opportunity to think outside the box while working on their teacher-guided art projects. Your child's week at camp will be centered around a specific art theme. Within that theme, they will explore a variety of age-appropriate materials and hands-on processes, while having a great time! Just have your child wear old clothes and bring a small snack! We are offering morning and afternoon camps. The first time slot is from 9:00 am until 12 noon, and the second time slot is 1:00 until 4:00pm. The cost of camp is $150 per week/per time slot of your choosing. You can sign up for as many weeks as you would like once your child is registered. If you choose not to have your child attend the whole week, you can send them for a few days of your choosing, for $30 per day. Each day includes 3 hours of Art. Just call the studio to let us know! 904-770-2222 |

YMCAYMCA
Summer is a critical out-of-school time when children benefit from enriched learning and unique adventures. That’s why YMCA camps offer activities that engage both the body and mind. Our goals are to eliminate summer learning loss, nurture self-confidence and sound values, and encourage healthy lifestyle habits. Plus, children make new friends along the way. Campers identified as non-swimmers or poor swimmers receive free lessons throughout the summer. The Y also offers financial assistance to ensure that all kids get the chance to experience camp.
