Creative Arts Camp
Each year the Mabee-Gerrer Museum of Art's Creative Arts Camps offer participants a summer adventure experiencing and learning an array of arts and applications. Each camp is open to students ages 5-13. Each of the camps concludes with an art show or performance on the last day that is open to family and friends. The camp themes are different each year.
