Summer Intensive
Creativity doesn’t take a summer break!
Summer is fast approaching, and we are thrilled to introduce WMCAT’s new Summer Intensive—a dynamic 3-day creative experience where students can explore T-shirt design, beat making, metal stamping, stop motion animation, and more! Summer Intensive runs July 14 - 16, from 12:30 p.m. - 5:30 p.m.
Through valuable feedback from students and families, we have transitioned our summer camp program into a Summer Intensive to create three immersive days of creativity, exploration, and learning. This new format provides students with greater access to our professional studios and teaching artists while offering the flexibility to engage with multiple artistic disciplines.
WHAT’S NEW
- A focused 3-day intensive format packed with hands-on artistic experiences.
- Daily participation in two artistic studios and one group activity lead by professional teaching artists.
- All supplies, a water bottle, and snacks provided!
The Summer Intensive is open to all students grades 7-9, with a program cost of $200 per student. A limited number of full and partial scholarships will be available.
Registration Opens April 1 – Deadline to register is July 1!
