The Spring Art Party at Clapping Hands Farm is a joyous family camp for parents and young children to enjoy together! The Art Party staff loves to create big fun for families and considers children and parent campers. Their goal is to create a very special day for both of you. Each day, the Clapping Hands team sets out a spectacular array of visual arts explorations, shares music and dance experiences, and brings their enthusiastic, big-hearted, playful selves to each camp day. Activities include:

• Finger painting.
• Making colorful slime.
• Playing in shaving cream.
• Draw with pastels, colored chalk, and other mediums.
• Learn to embroider on burlap or sew your own stuffed animals.
• Make toys that fly and spin.

And so much more! After the Art Party morning, you’ll enjoy lunch together (bring a picnic lunch for your family). After lunch, their staff will lead a sing-a-long/movement exploration. During “anything goes” in the afternoon, you might build with a collection of 100 boxes, play games, or do more art. Singing games provide a lively morning circle, and your day will end with a closing circle and a story told by Louise. It’s a good time for everyone! Picture doing a dozen fun things with your child/ren without having to set it up or clean it up! This class takes place on the following dates:

• Sun, Mar 9, 10am-2pm. 
• Sat, Mar 22, 10am-2pm. 
• Sun, Apr 6, 10am-2pm.

There are full and partial scholarships available. Please note: During their Summer Art Party Camp, they offer a Parent Workshop each afternoon while counselors have fun with the kids. They are currently not promising a parent workshop for the Fall After Party due to staffing limitations. If you have a child(ren) who are older than 8 and want to come to the Art Party Camp too, please contact Clapping Hands Farm. They may be able to go as a camper, or they can apply to be a Junior Counselor. Have a younger sibling that’s not two yet? They are welcome to come too! See details on their registration page.
