Summer Art Camp runs Tuesday - Friday from 9:00 am - 4:30 pm. Supplies and instruction are included in your fee. Each camper will need to bring their own snacks, lunches and beverages. Wear comfortable clothes that are ok to get messy in and comfortable shoes for walking. We walk to City Park - a 2 block walk.
Each session is taught by artists with support from volunteers. All instructors and volunteers working with children at TDAC go through a background check.
