This 4-day camp is all about animals, real and imagined. Campers will mainly explore the art medium of paper mache and construct a creature of their own imagination. We will walk through the design, construction, painting and finishing process, and campers will take home their new paper mache pet at the end of the week! In between the various stages of paper mache, we will engage in different art activities and games. This camp is perfect for your young artist who doesn’t mind getting messy, who loves thinking outside the box and who looks forward to getting to know creative peers! An additional $10 supply fee will be charged for this camp. Hicks/Walker

Have you ever wanted to melt metal and cut glass? Students will learn the copper foil method of stained glass art as they cut, grind, and create their own Stained Glass Project. Each project will be mounted in a frame for display. All supplies are provided. Parents are amazed each year with what their campers can create! Plan to attend all the days of camp to complete the project. The 4 day camp (July 5-8) will have easier projects to complete. Each week of camp is limited to 10 students. An additional $20 supply fee will be charged for this camp. If your child has a specific design they want to complete, please email Susan Guest with their idea two weeks before camp starts: GuestHomes@yahoo.com Guest

Students are about to learn the art of crochet. No experience is necessary, we will start at the beginning and help students at their level of need to learn how to crochet. Students who already know how to crochet are welcome to come too! The teachers are skilled at working with every ability level, and we will have everyone working to make awesome pieces.

Spend a week learning the lost craft of sewing. We will learn to cross stitch a pattern, sew a personalized drawstring backpack, make a potholder, and a neck wrap to keep you cool even in this Texas heat. We will keep you in stitches all week long. Parents need to provide 2 yards of cotton fabric of your child’s choice on the first day of camp - one yard with a pattern, one yard a solid color.

Super cool challenges performed all over the “world” while learning some culture and competing for a prize. Sign us up! Teams will race to find the clues that will give them the instructions for that part of the race. Clues can either be: “Route Info” where teams will need to follow the instructions on the card to receive the next clue, “Detours” where teams are given a choice of two activities to complete together to receive the next clue, or “Road Blocks” where only one team member must complete the task to move ahead. Are you ready for your first clue?” If you answered yes, come join our summer camp! Hullum/Passanante
