🎨 Out of the Box Summer Camp 2020 🎨

CONFIRMED OPEN SUMMER 2020

Come join us and get messy this summer! There will be many mediums used in our camps including clay, felting, painting in acrylic, watercolor, and tempera, as well as potter’s wheel, clay hand building, wood, printmaking, recycled art, pastels both in chalk and oil, liquid watercolors, salt, and unusual tools! It's not just a brush here! And, returning by popular demand this year we are again partnering with Classic Colors Horse Farm right next to OOTB’s mini farm for a Horse AND Art camp opportunity. We have added an extra hour to add to our art time as well as longer horseback time!
