SUMMER PROGRAM

The 2013 Summer Program at Muckykids Art Studio is a drop-off program that offers kids aged 5 – 9 a unique opportunity to indulge, explore, and expand their love of art and craft. For three mornings or afternoons a week over 5 summer weeks in July and August, kids can participate in intensive, hands-on art workshops diving into a variety of weekly themes. The program is divided by age group; the 9:00 a.m. to noon section for 7 – 9 year olds, and the 1:00 pm to 4:00 pm section for 5 – 6 year olds. Registration is flexible; sign up for the particular weeks that interest you, or sign up for all 5 weeks for a discounted tuition. The program runs on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays, for five weeks from July 8th to August 7th.
