Share success stories or testimonials from previous participants and their parents. How have children benefited from your camp?
“I most enjoyed the art environment with peers who are passionate about the same thing and the…hands-on learning. I also enjoyed how the instructor would guide us and give us tips while we were painting.”
“I’ve become more comfortable with tackling projects and painting techniques. My technique has improved in terms of acrylic painting, and I’m now more familiar with how the medium works now. I’m excited to paint more in the future.”
“I appreciated how welcoming, inclusive, and how kindly we were treated. We were given the chance to create well, being given helpful critiques and ideas on how to fix things. We had open conversations and incredible help with our art.”
