This exciting program is carefully designed with promising young artists ages 5-13. Campers rotate through three classes each day with a break for refreshments (provided by River Oaks). Summer Arts Studio is held in the Studio Annex Building of River Oaks Square Arts Center in downtown Alexandria, La. Each camp session incorporates projects using a variety of media. There will be ceramic projects, painting projects, acting, etc. During Sessions 2-4 every student learns basic ceramic procedures like pinch, slab and coil methods of construction and Session 1 has cooking instead ceramics due to the time constraints of this one week session.
The last Thursday of each session is our Themed Thursday event. This is a n awesome day that campers dress-up, do theme day art projects, unique studio group challenges and finish the day with a party.
The daily studio group challenges instill all the benefits that come from team building - Team work, communication, leadership, confidence, responsibility trust, respect and create a unique culture at camp.
The Board of directors of River Oaks donates a camp t-shirt to every camper. These shirts a brought home after Tie-Dye Tuesday.
Our ceramics and painting studios are modern and fully equipped. Our instructors are working artists and our Group Leaders and L.I.T.s are all alumni of Summer Arts Studio. We are certainly excited about the upcoming summer and hope you choose to send your young artist to Summer Arts Studio for one or more of our unique sessions.
