What to Bring to a Painting Kids Camp
Pack each child with a snack; and a water bottle or beverage each day.
We’ll give them an apron to wear every day but it’s a good idea to put them in clothes you don’t mind messing up. Acrylic paint will wash off of skin (and hair) but not so much clothes - Better to be safe than sorry!
Open to ages 8-17yrs
