Join us for School’s Out Mini Camps this school year!
CAC is offering free full-day mini camps this spring when AACPS is closed. These camps will meet from 9:30am-3:30pm, which will give young artists a chance to deep-dive into a particular medium or STEAM-related topic! See below for available dates, topics, and how to apply! You can choose to have your students attend one day or multiple days to fit your family’s schedule!
Transportation and lunch are not provided. Parents should pack a re-usable water bottle, as well as a lunch and snacks that are free of peanuts and treenuts.
