Five cultural arts organizations at Chapman Cultural Center will offer a student day camp, 9 a.m.-3 p.m., on Monday, Feb. 16, which is a countywide teacher workday. Students have the day off from school, and many working parents need options for their children.
Go Pro! will be a fun-filled day that provides children experiences with professionals from a variety of arts and humanities disciplines. Campers will hang out with a hip hop performer, create a large work of art together, learn about archaeology, meet professional performers, and learn the art of Kumihimo, a Japanese braiding technique.
Children ages 6-8 and 9-12 will spend the day rotating through programs at Ballet Spartanburg, Artists’ Guild of Spartanburg, Spartanburg Art Museum, Spartanburg Philharmonic Orchestra, and Spartanburg Regional History Museum. “This is a great opportunity for children to experience some of the tremendous programming offered by each of these organizations,” Elizabeth Goddard, Executive Director at the Spartanburg Art Museum, said. “Our goal is to provide children with a well-rounded day that is really fun, impactful, and engaging. I can’t think of a better place for children to spend a day off from school than at Chapman Cultural Center. Go Pro! day camp is a wonderful partnership between five of the Partner organizations at Chapman. We hope this collaboration is the first of many different types of programs in the future.”
Parents can register their children on Spartanburg Art Museum’s website or in person at the museum front desk. Cost is $50 per camper, and there is a sibling discount. For more information, please contact Spartanburg Art Museum at (864) 582-7616 or visit spartanburgartmuseum.org.
