9:30 a.m. – 3:30 p.m.
For children in grades 1 – 5
10 half-day sessions
After the long Vermont winter, we are so excited to see the signs of Spring all around us. In this camp, we will focus our art activities on the plants and animals that emerge during the warmer months. The camp is structured so that there are 10 half day sessions. Campers can come for one session, a full day or for the whole week. Details about each day’s activities will be forthcoming. Each session is limited to 10 students.
Each half day session is $25 for members ($28 for non-members).
The price decreases to $20/$22 for 6-9 total sessions per child.
The price for all 10 half day sessions is $180 for members ($200 for non-members).
Outreach Programs
Established in 1995 by Executive Director, Christopher Madkour, SVAC’s Outreach Program annually facilitates a host of interdisciplinary arts initiatives, both on campus and off. Today, under the stewardship of Stacy Gates, SVAC’s Outreach Coordinator, Outreach has become the public face of the Arts Center’s core mission, “to make both the visual and performing arts an integral part of the life of our community…”
The Jonathan Levin Educational Endowment Fund, offered each year by Southern Vermont Arts Center benefactor Barbara Riley, provides Outreach Grants to schools across southern Vermont. The funds are used to help pay for programs that go beyond the receiving schools’ often-limited budget. The far reaching benefits of this program were described recently by Stratton Mountain School’s art teacher. In summarizing their clay-sculpting residency with artist Sue Kramer she stated, “Students were exposed to a talented artist within their immediate community, they worked with an art medium otherwise unavailable to them, and they were introduced to a career lifestyle committed to the arts.”
