Theo Art School | 2019 Summer Art Trek

Summer Camps:

For Parents of School-Age Campers:

Dear Parents:

Welcome to a summer of creativity at Theo Art School! This is my 9th year offering our Annual Art Attack Summer Camps! What’s in your Summer?!

Our Summer Art Camps were developed to offer parents and their children a refreshing and inexpensive alternative to other camps by creating days filled with engaging and enriching sessions in the arts. When school is out Theo is in!

Whether it’s sculpting, using oil paints, pastels, or creating art pieces, our mission is to provide a dynamic, nurturing environment that encourages children to discover their unique creative talents.

It is our hope that children who join us this summer will come away with new skills and confidence that will encourage them to further explore the diversity of their world.

Registering for camp can be confusing! We understand. In an effort to make the process as organized and painless as possible, we offer you a Parent's Camper Confirmation Packet that includes forms, rules and guidelines, and what to bring. The What to Bring list will help you organize that backpack! The Rules of Day Camp are important; we ask that you read and discuss the rules with your child. Knowing what is expected of her/him and how she/he will be protected and respected at camp makes the first day much more comfortable for everyone!

If you have any further questions after looking over these materials, feel free to contact me at: 701-222-6452.

Like always, thank you for sharing your child(ren) with us!

Liliana Norby,

Executive Director, Theo Art School
