The cost of the camp is $35 per camper. Register at the Park Office (250 Pine Lake Avenue) between 8 a.m.-4 p.m. or by phone with credit card at 219-326-9600.
During Art Camp, students will be experimenting daily by painting in the style of a famous artist, working on a group project or taking a short hike to find the perfect landscape view to sketch. Instructors teach creativity, experimentation and artistic exploration, each day will bring a new topic to inspire the artist within. Students will learn techniques such as drawing, painting, paper mache, printmaking and much more!
The afternoon classes will have more challenging opportunities designed for a slightly older student. Fine art mediums are used to explore styles, techniques, and incorporate formal elements of making creative art.
