A-Team Summer Art Camps
T
he Randolph Arts Guild (RAG) has developed a brand new team to keep the creatively curious kids active during the summer. The 2014 RAG Summer Art Camp theme is A-Team. The “A” stands for artstar. RAG offers two week long summer day camps sure to help make an art-star out of your children. Each day unfolds with three classes of visual art lead by super star art instructors. There’s also a lunch period and an “art PE” period. Of course with all the artful activity a full day of camp would not be complete without a rest period too. You have your choice: the week of June 23 -- 27 or July 21 -- 25 from 10 a.m. -- 3 p.m. each day (an early drop-off option is available too). Each camper will finish the week with an armload of projects and positive experiences. Each week-long day camp is $170 per RAG member child or $190 for non-members. The age groups available are 5 -- 7, 8 -- 10, and 11 -- 13. All camps commence at the Randolph Arts Guild located at 123 Sunset Ave. in downtown Asheboro. More details are available including online registration via our website: http:// www.randolphartsguild.com/programs/summer-arts-camps/ or contact the Randolph Arts Guild at (336) 629-0399.
