SUMMARY:MERA's March Break Art Camp!
DESCRIPTION:MERA’s March Break Art Camp Returns! \nMERA is offering a March Break Art Camp for children ages 5 to 12. The camp will take place March 16th to 20th\, 9am to 3pm and 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.  \nThis 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! \nThe 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. Bursaries are available. Please inquire. To register\, please contact meraschoolhouse@gmail.com
