MIDDLETOWN— Middletown Art Center (MAC) is offering Adventures in Art Summer Camp for ages 5-14 in two sessions this year: Around the World, June 24-28, which focuses on multicultural designs and art expressions from around the world; and Movement Dynamics, July 8-19, an exploration of kinetics through art making and movement. Both sessions will take place Monday through Friday from 9:30 a.m.-12:30 p.m.
Children will engage in creative art projects and explorations that incorporate art making, dance, music and whole child enrichment. In Around the World, children will create a passport and “travel” around the world, exploring diverse cultures through dance, mask making, printmaking, painting and music. Movement Dynamics includes hula-hoop construction, decoration and practice hula-hooping, pop-up books, mobiles, dance, rhythm making, kinetic sculptures and more! Both sessions will conclude an exciting performance by participants. A short clip from last year’s performance can be seen on the MAC website.
The cost is $150 for session 1 (one week) and $300 for session 2 (two weeks) or $35 daily drop-in, and includes healthy snacks and all materials and supplies. Registrations by June 23 are eligible for $25 discount per week. Visit middletownartcenter.org/camp to register and learn more.
The session 1 staff is comprised of MAC teaching-artists: Lauren Schneider, credentialed art teacher with over 20 years experience K-12, and Jessie Beck, African Dance instructor and first grade teacher at Cobb Mountain Elementary. Laura Kennedy, mixed media and performance artist, and Darina Simeonova, architect and artist will join them for session 2, and musician Victor Hall will make guest appearances in both sessions. Both sessions of Adventures in Art promise to be unique and nurturing immersive arts experiences!
