The theme for Week One is Creatures & Critters! This week of camp students will construct giant cardboard bug sculptures, create chimera paintings, and craft their own mythical ceramic pet.

Creativity will flourish as campers explore their artistic abilities, play games, and make lasting friendships at Ulster Arts Camp! 

Our experienced and friendly Ulster Arts Camp counselors and teaching artists support fun, hands-on art-making with various mediums, including painting, sculpture, collage, animation, and performances, based on engaging weekly camp themes. The pieces created at camp will portray your child's individuality, tapping into each camper’s specific interests. 

Daily schedules include opening and closing circles, structured art instruction, snacks, lunch, and outside play. A weekly showcase will occur at the end of each week and is an opportunity for your camper to shine! All of their work from the week will be on display during the showcase and they’ll get to show off their learned performances to family and friends.
