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 Puppet Parade it's all about puppets, big and small, short and tall. Campers will learn about Gigantes and construct their own self-animated friends.
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 $45 with additional for before or after-care.
