What to Do With Antsy, Bored Kids in August.
During the first few weeks of summer, having no schedule is bliss! Then right about the end of July, my kids start to get tired of the pool, tired of friends and begin complaining about boredom. Unfortunately, many summer camps end right at the same time.

Their camps run weekly through August 31 for ages K to 5th grade. Kids will have a chance to explore painting, drawing, sculpture, and ceramics with their best teaching artists during a fun-filled week of art. Groups are divided into grades K-1, 2-3, and 4-5.
