Middle-schoolers can get artsy at summer camp, Buddhist Temple

Middle-school-aged students interested in art have several camps to choose from this summer.

Organized by the Brunswick Arts Council, the camps include one being offered at the Buddhist Temple on Midway Road in Bolivia, if enough students sign up.

Four summer art camps are planned June 20 through June 23,

The camps will enable students to work with local, professional artists to create an art project in three days that will be shown to parents and friends on the fourth day, a Saturday.

A fifth summer art camp will be offered June 28-July 1.

The camps will take place at five separate sites so students will have a short distance to travel to attend. The cost is $15 per student, which will cover instruction, classroom rent, insurance, art supplies and snacks.

Students need to be at the art camp classroom at 8 a.m., and classes will adjourn at noon. Parents or friends will need to transport students each day. Parents are always welcome at camp sessions, and if students want to bring art materials from home, they may. The five summer art camps and their locations are listed below.
