Arts Camp provides older youth and adults with opportunities to teach and strengthen their leadership abilities and provides younger youth the fun of a 4-H camping experience focused on the arts. Cost is $110/youth. Scholarships are available to help offset the cost, if needed.

The purpose of Art Camp:

• Encouraging expression and participation in the arts with middle school-age youth
• Supporting youth teaching opportunities where they learn to incorporate education, creativity, and reflection into the creative process
• Increasing awareness of the arts and participation in the arts at the club level
