Woo-hoo! Summer is almost here and it’s time for fun fun fun! I’m teaching several different summer camps for ArtsQuest at Moravian University’s South Campus in Bethlehem. My week long classes are for middle school students (entering grades 6-8) or high school students (entering grades 9-12). Each camp is focused on a specific artistic medium, allowing the campers to explore and build their skills. No prior experience is needed for any of the camps.
Class sizes are limited, so sign up now before they fill up!
