Young Artists at Play! 2025 Summer Art Camp at MERA
MERA is offering our popular Summer Art Camp for children ages 5 to 12. There will be two camps offered July 7th to 11th and August 4th to 8th. Camp will be from 9am to 3pm each day. MERA Summer Art Camp offers a dynamic environment where young artists are encouraged to explore their unique voices through a variety of mediums and techniques. Over the course of the camp, each child will have the opportunity to experiment with different materials such as watercolors, acrylic, collage, sculpture, and mixed media, allowing them to discover which tools best express their personal creativity. Our focus is on fostering individual expression and building confidence in their artistic abilities. Children will learn not only the fundamentals of art but also how to communicate their thoughts, feelings, and ideas visually. With guidance and support, they will develop their skills in a fun, collaborative atmosphere, embracing the joy of self-expression through art.
This year camp will be run by Heather Vriends, mother of 4, Jill of all trades, artist, cook, and experienced child care provider. She will be supported by her daughter Finnlee Vriends, and daughter-in-law MJ MacLeod. Both experienced and capable young artists. We’re so very excited to see what creations our young friends come up with this year!
The camp fees are $240 per child for MERA members or $300 per child for non- members. Please note: grandchildren of MERA members are entitled to members’ rate. To register, please contact meraschoolhouse@gmail.com
