HOPE COLLEGE SUMMER ARTS CAMP 2008!




Dear Waukazoo and Sheldon Woods families,
Once again this year, Hope College and the Holland Area Arts Council will be presenting a wonderful opportunity for kids to dive into the arts with our Summer Arts Camp. Yours truly, Mrs. Art, is the director of this camp, and Mrs. Kearns is our music leader. We also have an acting coach and a dance teacher. This year, our camp will have a theme of recycling and how we can do that with ideas and connect all of the arts, including some creative writing!
Join us for a great week of collaboration and creation as we explore the arts together. We are more than an "arts and crafts" camp-once you come you will want to come back!

check this link to sign up: http://hollandarts.org/education_youth08.php

or call Andrew at the Holland Area Arts Council to sign up. I HOPE TO SEE YOU THERE!!
Scholarships are available~call me at 786-1894.


Creatively yours, 
Mrs. Art

HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY, EVERYBODY!
