RAZ Summer Art Camps are simulated tours that explore new cultures through the lens of story. Each week, campers “visit” 1 of the 7 continents and discover the classic myths and stories, along with the heroes and villains, that make up each culture. Every continent opens up a world of stories, fashion, music, and dance and inspires the week’s projects, activities and field trips. Guided by degreed professional teachers, children paint, draw, sculpt and build up to 4 projects in a day. In a full week, kids make a gallery of up to 12 art projects!
