Summer Camp 2013

Well, it seems as if we're at that time of year again, SUMMER CAMP at the Mount Dora Center for the Arts.  It's hard to believe that another whole year has slid by and the halls and classrooms upstairs are going to be filled with the sounds of upwards of 50 children.  A big "SORRY" to the folks downstairs in the Gallery and Artisans on Fifth!  Just think about that, all those kids and all that noise being your upstairs neighbors. WOW.

I'm super excited about his year's theme WILD ABOUT ART.  It's a great animal theme, which is so easy for planning interesting and fun and meaningful fine-art activities.

This year, again, I'm doing the first three weeks of camp then heading off to travel and visit (more on that later).   My weeks are How Does My Garden Grow, Wild Animal Safari, and Marine Life and Water Conservation.  I have some great projects planned, lots of mixed-media painting, some mobile making, Sculpy sculpting and other surprises.  I really can't wait.

At the Teacher's Planning meeting I was able to see what the other teachers will be up to in the other classrooms (3 art, 1 clay) and it looks like we have an amazing and talented group of people this summer.  There are some great creative projects planned.  How wonderful to be able to work and play with them all day.

I do love summer camp.  It breathes a fresh breath of life into the Center and gives me an opportunity to have community with fellow artists (young and old) each and every day.

Now do you know why I feel so abundantly blessed in my life?  That's right.
