MOCHA Summer Arts Camp

MOCHA camps provide age-appropriate, fun and enriching art activities for children and youth ages 6–15. No previous art experience is required. Each week we will use a variety of techniques and materials to create artistic projects that stimulate the imagination and open the door to further exploration of the arts. One day of each session we will take time away from the MOCHA campus, with art walks and visits to other museums or programs that complement the theme of the week. Each Friday afternoon, family and friends are invited to view and celebrate the week's masterpieces.
