The Circus is coming to town this summer! It is a circus that doesn't exist yet because it is going to be created by you! Play exciting art games to open your mind and get your creativity flowing. Draw, paint, sculpt, and scrawl the most extraordinary circus you can imagine. Create a slew of crazy creatures and bring them to life in a puppet show. Learn the basics of juggling and make your own colorful bean bag juggling balls. At the end of the week we will all have put together an art, circus, and puppet show for friends and family.
