Summer Arts Camps

Camp brochures with full descriptions and registration forms are usually available at the Cultural Arts Office, both libraries and recreation community centers, by mid to late March.

2010 Club Pelican

Held at the Batiquitos Lagoon, Club Pelican brings together the worlds of nature and art. Young campers hike the trails of the Batiquitos Lagoon; explore animal habitats, lagoon birds, native plants, insects, and geology; and then create artworks inspired by what they observed in this beautiful natural setting. This camp meets daily, Monday through Friday, from 9 a.m. to 12 noon. This fun-filled camp, led by both a naturalist and an artist, is held in partnership with the Batiquitos Lagoon Foundation.
