Join us for CREATE Art Camp 2024!
This FREE art camp will meet Monday - Thursday, June 3rd - 6th, from 6:00 - 8:00pm at Calvary Bible Church. Registration will begin each night at 5:45, with the programming starting close to 6:00pm. Our theme this year is, "Created with a Purpose"!
Monday - Wednesday evenings, the children will participate in art projects (more info below) in addition to songs, Bible lessons, snack time, and more!
Thursday evening, parents/family members are invited & requested to attend as guests for observation, followed by a “Meet the Artist” art show + reception to showcase the art the kids have created and enjoy time together! (We’d like to have one adult per family present this final evening).
Age 4-6
Children ages 4 - 6 have the option to sign-up for either of these classes:
Option 1: “Creatures from the Sky to the Sea: Collaborative Mural Project”
Immerse yourself in a world where the sea meets the sky with our collaborative mural project! Over the course of three days, children will unleash their creativity by crafting an array of colorful creatures to populate our vibrant scene. From fish made with various mediums to fun feathered birds, each participant will have the opportunity to bring their imagination to life.
Option 2: “Waters: Mixed Media Collage”
Students will make waters-themed collages using painted backgrounds, cut-outs from scraps and found images, and other found materials (sequins, fabric, etc)!
Age 7-9
Children ages 7 - 9 have the option to sign-up for either of these classes:
Option 1: “We Need Light: Light Switch Decor”
This project involves decorating light switch outlet covers for the home using glow-in-the-dark paper and/or paint and/or glued-on items. Scripture verses will be included as a daily reminder of God’s light, presence, & care right in our midst.
Option 2: “Sun, Moon, and Stars Above: Abstract Art & More”
Kids will be inspired to make an "Abstract Work of Art" on paper, in addition to decorating a "Burlap Art Hanger," sewing or gluing various decorative embellishments. Lastly, for "Meet the Artist", kids are inspired to make hand-written notes to special persons, expressing gratitude for their creative art camp experience.
Age 10 - 12
Children ages 10 - 12 have the option to sign-up for either of these classes:
Option 1: “Wood & Plants: Framed Botany”
Come learn about paper, wood, drawing, painting, and 4-strand braiding. We’ll draw and paint from plants, build and finish a frame, and add our own handmade cord and tassels to complete the project!
Option 2: “Made in His Image: Mixed Media Self-Portraits”
This class will be inspired by God’s creation of humans! Participants will explore this by creating self portraits! We’ll use lots of different types of materials, like cardboard, clay, fabric, paint and more to make 3D versions of ourselves. We will study each of our unique features, skin tones, hair types and styles to get an end product that represents who we are and who God made us to be!
