BOCA RATON – Starting July 2, Boca Raton Children’s Museum is offering six one-week day camp sessions featuring an introduction to an exciting array of art forms, including the performing arts. Camp will be conducted from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. daily and will continue through August 10.
Each week, children ages 6 to 10 years old will enjoy exploring the arts with professional artists and producing their own work. Miniature artist, Katie Hahner, will teach campers how to construct a miniature playground. Clay sculpture, painting, and cartooning are also part of the agenda as well as music, drama, movement and dance.
Artists from Italy’s Adriani Teatro return to Boca Raton to share their internationally acclaimed mask-making and drama workshops. Every Friday is Big Fun Friday! In the morning, campers will perform and demonstrate their talents for parents and friends, then prepare a delicious lunch with Chef Christopher Fread, and enjoy afternoon interactive programs with a variety of popular local entertainers.
This year the museum welcomes Amber Leigh, international violin sensation and hometown girl; enchanting percussionist Buckley Griffis; the wacky Bob the Balloon Guy and the entertaining DJ Big Smile!
The camp venue will be Jason’s Music Hall located inside Rickards House, a newly constructed replica of the first house built in Boca Raton, by T.M. Rickards in 1897. All camp activities take place on the Children’s Museum grounds.
