Howard County Arts Council Offers Fun And Creative Summer Camp Programming In 2019

Registration has begun for the Howard County Arts Council's visual and performing arts summer camps at the Howard County Center for the Arts in Ellicott City. Camps are open to the public, regardless of residency in Howard County, for students entering grades K-7. Campers must be at least 5 years of age by September 1, 2019 to be eligible for summer camp.

Campers are grouped by age and may enroll for a full-day or half-day. Before-care beginning at 8am and after-care until 6pm are also available. Students may select from a wide range of age-appropriate visual and performing arts camps, including Art From Down Under, Junk Journaling, Magical Adventures Onstage!, and much more. Camps conclude with an exhibit or performance of student work on the last day of each camp session. The Arts Council employs experienced teachers, each of whom is supported by 1-3 camp assistants and volunteers. Classes are limited to 20 campers.

Summer camps begin June 24 and run in one-week sessions through August 23, 2019. Registration is available online at https://www.hocoarts.org/camp or by phone at 410-313-2787.
