Summer Arts Camps
 The Cultural Arts Office offers children a variety of summer arts camp experiences including Creative Arts Camp and Club Pelican. All camps are staffed by professional artists or educators, a camp aide and many energetic and talented volunteers. These camps are offered to children ages 7 to 12 years old. 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.
