2016 Summer Arts Camp for Kids at MERA

McDonald's Corners/Elphin Recreation and Arts | Jun 01, 2016

Looking for something creative and enjoyable for your children or grandchildren this summer? Consider enrolling them in MERA’s 12th annual Arts Camp for Kids for children ages seven to 12 (or 13) at the heritage MERA Schoolhouse in McDonalds Corners. The camp will take place Monday, July 25 to Friday, July 29 from 9am to 3pm each day. On the Friday, there will be a vernissage for parents and grandparents to come and see what the children accomplished all week.

Artist and Camp Director, Jo Bali, of Jackalope Farm and Eco-Art-Studio, and former volunteer children's program director at Stewart Park Festival, joins MERA again this year. The children will create an art project every day using a different medium with eco-friendly materials. Games and other activities are also built into the day’s routine.

The MERA camp is moderately priced at $160 for MERA members and $180 for non-members, and includes all art supplies. Children should bring sunscreen, lunch, a hat and snacks.
