Renaissance Kid Camp is a two-week program where campers are introduced to a broad range of artistic and creative experiences through a camp-wide theme. This summer we'll celebrate our planet and discover all the wonders that make it so special. From the African Jungle and Sahara Desert to the Brazilian Rainforest and Arctic Ocean, we'll learn about creatures and places you've never even imagined!
Each day includes visual arts with painting, sculpting and craft activities, music where campers sing, dance and try musical instruments, and theatre, which includes stories, puppetry, role playing, character creation and other dramatic play activities.
The East End Arts School offers a home-like setting with comfortable air-conditioned rooms and fenced-in park-like grounds for outdoor play. The small group size provides for a non-threatening camp experience with lots of personal attention.
Early morning care is available between 8:30-9:30 am, and after-care between 3:00-5:00PM. After-care consists of modified camp activities.
Camp concludes with a performance, art show and pot-luck lunch for campers, staff and families. Hours on the last day are 9:30AM–1:00PM
