Description
Classes meet Monday through Friday. Students may enroll
for one or more weeks.
For
5 year-olds: A birth certificate is required for
age verification. Students must have completed kindergarten
or one full year of full-day pre-school.
The Multi-Arts program challenges children
to use their imaginations to translate creative ideas/images
into Visual Art, Music, Movement and Creative Drama as separate
disciplines as well as through integrative arts experiences.
Each week the program will revolve around a theme of interest
to children.
Students work in large and small groups throughout the day
in a variety of age groupings so children have the opportunity
to learn how to work cooperatively and collaborate in the
arts. While the program is designed for children ages 5-8,
it is recommended that any 5 year old be mature enough to
handle a full day of program. Parents are welcome to stay
the first morning only of each session until the children
have gone to their first class. If a 5 year old seems unable
to handle the full day, parents will be requested to pick
up the child at lunch time.
Culmination:
Each one-week session ends with an Open House from 2:45
p.m. to approximately 3:30 p.m. Friday afternoon. The Open
House features the work of both the Multi-Arts and Arts
Focus programs. Parents and the school community are invited
to celebrate many of the finished works and works-in-progress
that the children have experienced during the week. The
Open House is held each week at the Oaks which is directly
above the Children’s Center office. Please sign our
guest book and wait at picnic tables by the office until
the children invite you to be seated.

Art Program______________________
Program Description
Exploring Art is new this year and presents a unique workshop
environment for students interested in Visual Arts.
Each session offers two individual workshops with separate
emphasis areas within the 2-dimentional and 3-dimentional
categories of art studies. Classes are divided in half with
each group spending mornings in one emphasis area and their
afternoons in the other.
While students may enroll in either session, it should be

From Page to
the Stage
Open to children ages 9–12
July 6–19
Course #CCWR Ø1-Ø2
Two-week session
This fun-filled program combines writing with acting in
an exciting and creative workshop that culminates in a performance
of an original work performed by the very students who wrote
the words!
Starting with characters created by the group, student actors
and writers explore scenes and monologues using improvisation,
acting games, storytelling, and group brainstorming. Actors
can write to their own strengths-if you can play an instrument
or sing or dance-use it! Express yourself-with your self.
The pieces may take many forms-poems, scenes, monologues-even
songs. Then we will refine and rewrite-direct and combine-until
finally these pieces will take the shape of our show. Fun
will be had by all!
Enrollment limited to 12 students.
Culmination: Saturday morning, July 19
from 9:30 to 10 a.m. in Children’s Center. Parents
should park below Children’s Center and walk to the
