Campers will learn the art of creating with clay in the area’s only pottery camp. Each student will create various projects while learning different techniques and glazing their one-of-a kind creations!

Please Note: Students will create multiple pieces that will be fired in a kiln after the last day of camp. Parents will be notified when pieces are ready to be picked up.

Full-day campers (those registered for a morning and afternoon camp) will have a supervised lunch period from 12:30 PM to 1:30 PM at no extra cost.
