Kids can set sail for the South Pacific in this free online mini camp offered by Imagine Arts Academy of St. Louis.

Participants will need a pencil, sketch or scrap paper, plain paper, one crayon with paper removed, a smooth surface to work from, and markers or colored pencils or pens.
Monday, July 6 from 2 to 3 p.m.
