Staff Report-
WABASH – The Honeywell Center in Wabash will offer three weeks of Summer Arts Camps for students in kindergarten to eighth grade beginning June 24. Each week-long camp meets Monday through Friday, from 9 to 11 a.m. or 1 to 3 p.m. Camp prices for each child is $40 for one camp, $75 for two or $100 for all three. “With summer learning becoming a focus of educators and policymakers alike, the Honeywell Center Educational Outreach Program decided to offer three opportunities for students to learn new art skills while having fun,” said Teresa Galley, Honeywell Center educational outreach manager. “These camps are built around the need for families to use summers more strategically and to expose their children to hands-on arts experiences that may not fit into their normal school year schedule.” Camp schedules are: • Kids in the Kitchen with Chef David Ericsson: (Sold out) June 24-28, for ages 8-14. Honeywell House executive chef David Ericsson will teach campers how to prepare a different course each day. By Friday, campers will be able to prepare a complete meal, including dessert, with minimal parental assistance. • Hands on Visual Art with Candie Cooper: July 8-12, for grades 3-8. Candie Cooper, host of PBS' “Hands On: Crafts for Kids” and author of four books on unique art forms like jewelry-making, metal-working and felting, will lead campers on several different visual art projects. All projects will be displayed in mini show on Friday for families and friends. • Featured Artists Visual Arts Camp: July 22-26, two classes: grades K-3 or 4-8. Each day a different professional teaching artist will lead campers in projects exploring several different mediums. All projects will be displayed in a mini show on Friday for families and friends.
