Summer Eco-Art Camps

Art meets science in Artist Boat’s Summer camp sessions! Campers will experience true science and art enrichment with the creation of Eco-Art and exploration of Artist Boat’s Coastal Heritage Preserve. Each camper will create high quality art projects and explore like a young naturalist. Each week is a different theme. Come for one or come for all!
