The camps are divided by age group: “Wild at Art” is programmed for age 5 through 7 and meets June 6-10 to explore connections between art and nature; “Raiders of the Lost Art” is geared toward 8- to 10-year-olds and meets June 27 through July 1 to experiment with a variety of artmaking techniques; and “The Art of Game Design” meets July 18 through 22, where 11- to 13-year-olds will learn about game design and create board games and digital challenges.
