Ordinarily taught as a sketch book journaling course, our art class has quickly become a camp favorite. Taught by a recognized local artist, Merri-Mac's art program is different from typical arts and crafts projects in that it is designed to give the tools needed to uncover artistic talents and establish a love for drawing.

In all of this it is not difficult to place a strong emphasis on just having fun. We draw, paint, sculpt, stain, tye-dye, bead and just plain create cool stuff every day. There are few greater rewards than looking at a piece of well done artwork and thinking "I made that."
