Bernard Hermant

Summer has official sprung (or sweated), and that means school is out and the kids are about. Parents hoping to cultivate the perfect balance between sunburnt shoulders and screen-crusted eyes can find solace and a source for creative stimulation in offerings from our region's spectacular arts institutions—many of which are offering fun and unique arts camps for kids of all ages (and even some for adults!). From printmaking to french lessons to photography, send your young'uns back to school this fall with a trove of new skills, passions, and memories.
