School Daze Camps at Artscope are a great way for kids to spend their days when school is out. Kids will make fabulous art projects, explore Tower Grove Park, play games, sing songs and make new friends.
Camps are for kids ages 5 to 11. Each camp has a different theme. At I Have a Dream camp, participants will explore their hopes and dreams and craft their way to a creative future as they plot their own goals, dreams and future selves.
Camps run from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. with before and after-care available beginning at 7:30 a.m. through 6 p.m. Cost for camp is $40 with additional for before or after-care.
