Summer Art Program

During summer vacation, Ms. Goldhagen offers Themed Summer Craft Sessions for children ages 6-11, July through August.

Three themed summer craft sessions will be available on weekdays during mid-summer. The sessions are both educational and fun, and include arts & crafts and history lessons for each theme.

This year, the featured themes are Native American, Medieval, and Ocean.

Each themed session is two weeks in duration, Monday through Thursday, from 12:00pm to 4:00pm.

The cost is $400 per child for each 2 week session - parents must provide children with a lunch. Juice will be provided.
There will be a one time non-refundable reservation fee of $50 to save your place. Payment for each session is required in full at the beginning of each session.

The last day to register for these exciting craft sessions is June 30th, 2010. Please call (201)248-4779 or stop by the Studio to obtain a registration form.

2010 Summer Craft Sessions

To demonstrate this, the children will make a traditional craft item from each of the regions.

Students will learn about heraldry and its symbolism, and fashion their own “coat of arms”. In addition to making a castle, and signal tower, they will also learn about famous events and people from the Middle Ages.

The wonders of the ocean will be explored during this session and students will create craft items that showcase the treasures of the deep such as an “underwater” diorama, and sea shell chimes.
