Exploring Summer Camp '23

Get excited for Summer Art Camp '23! We'll explore a variety of different mediums and study famous artists as we create projects inspired by their artwork! 

Introducing your child to art is proven to support the development of social-emotional, multisensory, and cognitive skills. It also promotes creativity, which is important for the development of other skills such as focus, independence, willingness to explore, and thinking outside the box!

About R.I.S.E.
