Summer is almost here. After a long and crazy year spent mostly at home, parents are looking for creative ways for their children to have fun this summer out of the house. The South Arkansas Arts Center is here to provide the fun with a full schedule of arts-focused day camps, sponsored by First Financial Bank.
This summer’s camp schedule has been expanded to include nine full weeks of programming, with a new camp offering each week. From art, theatre, dance and science to rock & roll, there’s something exciting all summer long.
The summer will be off and running with June’s classes, which will include “Art Camp,” “Rock & Roll Camp” and “Acting for Theatre.”
July will be filled with excitement from “Art Meets Science,” “The Little Mermaid Ballet,” “Musical Theatre Choreography” and “The Great Artists.” Finish out the summer with “Mini Artists/Maximum Fun” and “Movie Making.” “Mommy and Me” is a new weekly class in art and music, designed for parents and babies to participate in together.
All of students’ favorite SAAC teachers are back and ready to provide the fun including Katie Harwell, Mike Means, Nicole McAdams, Michaela Wise, Maria Villegas, Stephanie Lowrey, Cami Lowrey, Hannah Faith Davis, Lynn Gunter and Bekah Gunter.
“We are thrilled to be welcoming back all our campers and instructors for a great summer schedule. To make the most of the summer, we have spread programming out over nine weeks, allowing us to devote the most resources to entertaining and educating your students,” said SAAC executive director Laura Allen.
