Discover a world of inspiration and creativity at Millersville University’s ARTS SMARTS Camps in Music, Theatre, and Visual Arts for kids entering grades K-5, and multi-disciplinary camps for pre-schoolers (ages 4–5) and middle schoolers (grades 6–8). Week- long age-appropriate programs are designed to encourage artistic expression and appreciation, foster knowledge and skills, and inspire the imagination through an active hands-on exploration of the artistic process. They are also just plain fun (and the best bargain in the region)! And no previous experience is necessary. At the end of the week, each camp will conclude with a performance or exhibition for parents/caregivers to enjoy their children’s artistic creations.

Our faculty of teaching artists is comprised of select Millersville University arts-education students, all highly experienced and deeply committed to creating the highest quality arts programming for children and youth. (And all have their child clearances.)

No camp will be a repeat of another, so it is perfectly fine to enroll in as many as four camps of the same discipline. Specific session titles and descriptions, along with faculty bios, can be found online at www.ArtsMU.com/arts-smarts-camp.

For those campers wishing to stay the whole day, a supervised lunch period will take place between morning and afternoon camp sessions. (Campers bring their own lunches, refrigeration is available.)

Attended drop-off and pick-up.Fees: Each half-day week-long camp is $100.Enrollment is limited. Camps will be filled on a first-come, first-serve basis.

Scholarships are available to those families who demonstrate financial need. Please contact: Barry.Kornhauser@millersville.edu if interested.

NEW THIS SUMMERWeek 1 at the Ware Center

Week 2 on CampusMy seven year old participated in both weeks of camp, taking the

music class in the morning and the visual arts class in the afternoon. Each day she’d arrive home singing new songs, sharing information

about artists she learned about, eager for the next day.

VISUAL ARTS MUSICCampers will enjoy a mix of mediums and methods as they actively explore two- and three-dimensional art forms in age-appropriate sessions that also mix fun and learning. Students at each grade level can attend morning and afternoon VISUAL ARTS camps one or BOTH weeks and have a different enriching experience in each. They should dress to get messy; smocks are recommended for these age-appropriate camps in which creativity and self-expression are emphasized. Proper use and care of the materials is all part of the learning. Both weeks will end with a Ware Center exhibit of the campers’ original art works, and there’ll be enough work created to start your very own in-home art museum!

Through voice, body, and musical instruments – homemade and otherwise – campers enrolled in MUSIC sessions will engage in creative expression, honing vocal, kinesthetic, and instrumental skills while having a blast…and a toot…and a plink…and a boom. These camps are designed to nurture their natural curiosity, increase their love of music, and expand their artistic horizons through age-appropriate songs, movement and music activities. All MUSIC camps will offer a different curriculum, so campers can enjoy morning and afternoon sessions of song each week and have a new experience every time. At week’s end, they will perform a “concert” for families and friends.

The camps are truly unique. “

My children were able to participate, enjoy, and learn from a wonderfully rich and creative environment. They loved the subjects, the caring and knowledgeable instructors, and the wonderful sense of community that the program fosters.

“ “

My son was treated with such goodness and kindness all week long and came home happily every day to share what he learned at camp. This is such a tremendous opportunity that you provide to families in the community.

“ “

THANK YOU so very much for supporting the love of arts in children! My daughter is 4 and loved every minute. Such a great team and staff. Please know that you have sparked a light in a small citizen!

“To be or not to be…enrolled in Arts Smarts THEATRE Camps?” That’s an easy one to answer – Be Enrolled! Theatre is a great means for young people to see, hear, feel, think, imagine, and do! Campers here explore the fundamentals of drama by exercising voice, body, the imagination, concentration and collaborative skills, while building confidence and a creative spirit. Age-appropriate theater games and story building techniques will be used to examine such dramatic elements as character, theme, and dialogue, as well as elements of production, and each session will offer a unique curriculum so kids can attend any or all, and be promised experiences worthy of bravos. They’ll also earn some of those bravos in mini-performances at the end of each week.

..not an ordinary summer camp, but a camp full of creativity and a platform to express it!

Arts Smarts allowed our daughter who has autism to participate with her peer group. At first we didn’t know whether she’d enjoy the camps, but the staff was very gentle and inclusive. Turns out, she looked forward to camp every day! It was a milestone for her to attend this “regular” Arts camp and mingle with some terrific kids. We’re so grateful.
