The rich past of Fredericksburg's historic district has endless ghost stories; expect a scavenger hunt to different points where ghost stories exist. A written program will enlighten the adults and older children to the spooky details, while the young children will simply hear some light-hearted funny stories from the past! Costumes are welcome. Your tour guide will be in colonial dress to take you back in time. Tickets will be available September 30th. Go. to the "Register Art" page of this website, change the tab "semester" to "camp/events" and choose from the 6 different ghost tours offered. Choose wisely!
All tours will meet at the outdoor fenced yard at the Art Time for Kids studio. 101 Hanover Street. Fall is bustling in downtown Fredericksburg, so please plan ahead to find parking in our public lots or the parking garage at Sophia and Wolfe Street.
When you go to buy tickets, go to the "Register Art" page, and change semester tab to camps/events.
Summer Art Camp 2022 - We had the BEST Summer!
Young artists learn and work together in this week long camp! (Rising 1st-5th graders)
Individual art projects and group art projects develop skills and friendships! We visit a local art gallery, play games, and create a group project to display in the community. Art campers work hard on learning art skills, but also having fun. We spend time outdoors and walk and picnic too. We emphasize social connections while also fostering individual expression. The most valuable lessons are recognizing and respecting everyone's different perspectives!
See above for summer 2022 dates, times, and prices.
Activities indoor and out!
We stay active while learning the basic principals of art. Our studio has a fenced-in outdoor space, and we are right in the heart of historic Fredericksburg. Surrounded by local artists, we will visit an artist's studio one day!
Individuality
Even when working on a group project, the children create something that is THEIRS, from the inception to the installation. In past years, a giant paper mache food sculpture has been the tradition!
Summer camp for the little ones too!
Little Art Camp
A camp designed just for the young ones. Campers must be 4 to 6 years old, and must be potty trained. Two hours a day, for a four-day week is just right for the little artists to create messy and fun masterpieces, play games, spend time outdoors, and make friends.
*must be 4 by August 1, 2022. No exceptions.
