About the Camp
Monday, July 28 – Friday, August 1
Ages: 12-14
We have a little story to tell you. It is about a camper who explored the world of storytelling and bookmaking at the MAG. Don’t tell anyone, but that camper is you!
During the fourth week of summer camp, we will explore all the gallery has to offer in the way of stories, myths, and legends. Then, we will learn to create our characters and tell our stories. Do you have a story to tell? Mornings will be spent at Writers & Books dreaming up characters, carefully crafting a unique world for your story, building conflict, and writing sentences that zing off the page. Afternoons will be spent at the MAG’s Creative Workshop, learning how to illustrate an idea, choose a fitting style, and draw things you don’t yet know how to draw. At the end of the week, you’ll have the option to present an excerpt from your book and bring home your illustrated copy. All art materials are included.
Camps & Drop-Off Times
Instruction begins at 9:00 AM and ends at 4:30 PM, but you may drop off your child as early as 8:30 AM and pick up as late as 5 PM. There is no extra charge for this supervised before-care and after-care.
