The Strand Center for the Arts Announces New Summer Youth Art Camps
Plattsburgh, NY (June 6, 2014) – The Strand Center for the Arts (SCA) is excited to announce its new ArtQuest camps for the summer! Five weeks worth of ArtQuest camps are offered over the course of the summer and are available in half or full day sessions for children ages 5-8 and 9-12.
With classes such as Refuse Reuse, History Detective, and Garden Explorer, children have the opportunity to look more closely at the world around them while exploring these special themes through clay and visual arts.
“ArtQuest camps are a great way for children to actively learn and create,” says Rebecca Conklin, SCA ArtQuest instructor. “Participating in the arts not only provides a creative outlet, but allows children to have continued development of fine and gross motor skills and exposure to diverse sensory experiences over the course of the summer.”
“Study after study shows that exposure to arts programs help students academically and socially. We worked hard to create half and full day art camp classes that integrated art with themed topics to ensure that area children have access to quality arts education programming,” says Aimée Baker, SCFA Education Coordinator.
The cost of each ArtQuest class is $95 or $85 for members. Scholarships are available. Register your child for a fun-filled summer by visiting the SCA website or by contacting the Arts Center directly!
The Strand Center for the Arts is open to visitors Tuesday through Friday, 10am – 5pm and Saturdays, 10am – 4pm. For a complete listing of all classes and workshops, please visit the Arts Center’s website at: www.plattsburgharts.org
