Camp Imagine 2021 – our 23rd year!

Camp Imagine is a full-day arts camp for children ages 7-12. Campers engage in visual and performing arts which includes art, theater and dance. Singing is not being offered this year and has been replaced with collaborative art projects such as large sculptures and murals.

New this year: Group size is limited to 8 campers. All students who are not vaccinated must wear a mask. Lunch and breaks will be offered outside and with social distancing (masks off to eat), weather permitting. Each group is limited to 8 campers and each camper will be provided an art making station 3 ft. apart with supplies assigned for the week. Frequent cleaning and hand washing will be done throughout the day. Each group of 8 will have consistent interns and teachers to limit exposure. After lunch, recess will consist of activities that can be done with social distancing like chalk drawing, bubbles, parachute games, frisbee, tossing games, beading and more.
