Opposite Week: Junior Art & Clay Camp (17CSU26)

July 27–31, 2026

Have you ever seen a gigantic gummy bear, a massive mouse, or a speedy snail? Here’s your chance to create them! This week, opposites will attract like magnets as we shrink, enlarge, rip, mend, speed up, slow down, lighten, and shade to create artworks with exaggerated contradictions. Campers will spend part of each day exploring clay. They’ll mold imaginative sculptures and useful objects using hand-building techniques, then glaze and paint their pieces. The week will end with an art show on Friday in MAG’s Vanden Brul Pavilion, where families can view campers’ creations. All art materials are included.
