Be creative with Summer Plans for your children! From June 9 through June 20, Arts Clayton presents two weeks of art packed fun at the 15th annual KALEIDOSCOPE Summer Art Camps and the Summer Art Camp for Young TEENS!
Through art related activities, instruction and special programs, elementary age children from all across the south metro area will enjoy hands-on instruction about art, photography, dance, drama, music and more. KALEIDOSCOPE Summer Art Camp is designed to be an overall Art Experience for children. EVERY child at EVERY experience level will participate in BOTH Visual and Performing Arts during their time at camp. It is Arts Clayton’s goal to encourage children to explore and develop an appreciation for ALL of the Arts and to learn that by working together THROUGH the arts, we bridge all gaps and come together as a community. At the conclusion of Art Camp an exciting Musical Performance AND a Gallery Style Art Exhibit will be presented by the campers for the enjoyment of family, friends, and community!
There will be special visits and exciting programs including a visit from renowned children’s literature illustrator Michael White; a theatrical performance of Tales from Near and Far by Offshoot Productions; the art of storytelling by KUUMBA Storytellers; and an amazing puppet and animation show by Al Waller and the Be A Know It All Varmints! The Clayton County Fire and Police Departments will pay a visit allowing campers an inside peek the extraordinary safety vehicles they drive and an opportunity to talk to real police and fire officers! Campers will also have an opportunity to participate in the Kaleidoscope Campers Talent Show!
The KALEIDOSCOPE Summer Arts Camp is designed for children entering first through sixth grades next fall, and will be held mornings 8:30 am to 12:15 pm at Lee Street Elementary located at 178 Lee Street in historic downtown Jonesboro ~ behind the Jonesboro Library. The all inclusive cost of the full two-week program is only $155. There are no additional registration or supply fees. Arts Clayton also provides mid-morning snacks for the children each day and a FREE T-shirt for campers.
AFTER CAMP art classes will also be available to registered KALEIDOSCOPE Campers. For an additional $95 (total for both weeks), kids enrolling in AFTER CAMP bring a bag lunch and remain each day until 2pm for additional art classes. Openings are VERY limited and available on a first come basis.
For Middle School students entering the 7th, 8th or 9th grades next fall, Arts Clayton offers the Summer Art Camp for Young TEENS.

The two-week Theatre Camp students will be exposed to elements of stage movement, acting, costuming, improvisation, and audition techniques.
