Latrobe Art Center plans in-person kids' summer art camps

Two in-person summer art camps for kids are scheduled at Latrobe Art Center.

Children ages 5-9 can explore their creative sides during the first session, scheduled for 9:30-11:30 a.m. July 20-23 in the center at 819 Ligonier St.

Students will be introduced to several forms of visual art during this camp. Each day will feature a new project that may include drawing, painting, mixed media or sculpture.

The camp aims to provide an outlet for kids to interact with their peers, hone fine motor skills and artistic abilities and use their imaginations.

The second session, for ages 10-13, is scheduled for 9:30-11:30 a.m. Aug. 3-6.

Instructor Jennifer Kemnitz will work with students to further develop some technique-based drawing and art skills and to promote confidence and creativity with personal self-expression through the art process.

Students will experiment with a variety of media.

Fee for either camp is $90, or $70 for art center members.

Each session will be limited to eight children. Safety guidelines, including social distancing, face masks and sanitizing, will be enforced by center staff.

Additional summer camp weeks will be added if there is enough interest.
