Kids thrive when they express themselves. Exploring the arts, whether it be dance, theatre, music or art, it improves self-esteem and social skills. Creating art of any genre fosters creativity and helps children understand themselves and their world. In Miss Marae’s camps and classes, children are encouraged to explore the arts in a playful way that fuels their imagination. In the arts camp, young artists will explore painting. drawing, clay, watercolor, collage making, singing, ukulele, drumming, songwriting, theatre and dance games. At the expressive arts studio, the emphasis is on the process, not the final result.
