& CREATIVITY

Where Imagination Rules!

Greater Norristown Art Camp starts the week of June 19. This winter weather started us thinking about summer camp and GNAL is busy preparing for the warmer months with our SUMMER ART CAMP. We are looking forward to sharing the beautiful summer and making special memories with you! Our hands-on classes are held in our cozy schoolhouse located right in the heart of Montgomery County. It's warm, inviting, and safe atmosphere is the most lovely place to learn, for both kids and adults.

Our art camp opens-up a whole world of possibilities for your children. It allows kids ages 7 to 14 years to explore and grow their imaginative spirit. We must admit that what truly makes the camp special is our fantastic instructor, Diane DiRogatis. Diane is a certified art educator, having taught both elementary and high school art. She has a unique talent for bringingout the children's innate talent in a fun and comfortable environment. Having run the program for several years, she knows exactly what works. Diane has a fun packed summer planned with loads of artwork to be created! In fact, we have a new week theme titled Hidden Treasures with lots of X marks the spot ideas. Camp activities include hands-on art projects such painting, sculpting with clay, drawing and 3-D projects. Art supplies are included and the building is even air conditioned! Just bring your own lunch, drink and beach towel.

The program will run for 8 weeks from June 19 to August 18. Each week Diane will focus on a particular theme keeping project ideas fresh, new, and exciting. Each Friday concludes your week of fun with a spectacular Art Show and reception for family and friends. For those of you who are familiar with our program, you will be happy to learn that this year's camp is extended by an hour, so instead of 10 to 2 pm our new hours will be 10 am to 3 pm.

To join in on the fun, sign your children up for one or more weeks throughout the summer. You can register your child at www.gnal800west.org/summer-camp. If you have any questions about registration, email gnartleague@gmail.com with a subject line of Summer Camp.
