May’s day camp has a Mother MAY I theme in celebration of Mother’s Day. Campers will help guide the direction for the day’s activities by asking “Mother May I…?” The planned activities will be adventurous with input from the kids!

This day camp will provide your child with a fun way to spend the day during a teacher in-service day (PD day). Every camp will consist of a theme-based art craft, several indoor and outdoor activities, and time in the galleries to explore.

Camps are available for children ages 6-13.

Please have your child or children bring a nut-free lunch and snacks that don’t require refrigeration as well as wear weather-appropriate outdoor clothing.
