 the fabulous five jr. camp
Using Your Senses

Wayne Center for the Arts camps are designed to provide in-depth arts experiences for children. Each camp has a different art focus so kids have a chance experience some great arts activities and have fun too! In addition, children will have the opportunity to focus on one area of the arts and develop confidence and camaraderie through the experience. Program planning includes sensitivity to the developmental readiness of each child.
Your preschooler will enjoy learning about their favorite feathered friends while creating artwork and participating in Musikgarten classes featuring the beautiful sights and sounds of the bird kingdom. Children will make a bird feeder, paint a bird house and complete other projects inspired by wild birds, song birds, and flightless birds. My First Art Camp is designed just for the young preschooler and will provide age-appropriate activities that will encourage your child’s creativity.
