AVA Gallery and Art Center’s Spring Afterschool and Camp Schedules
AVA Gallery and Art Center seeks to foster support and appreciation for visual artists
and their work. Our educational programs serve as a solid foundation to nurture
future artists and to cultivate an enthusiastic audience. We have a spring schedule of
after school classes for students ages six to thirteen. We also offer two, week-long
vacation art camps for elementary schools. The first begins on Saturday, April 10th.
This camp offers classes in-person, online, and in a hybrid of the two. For students
whose April vacation begins on the 17th, we are offering four, one-hour online classes
that run throughout the week. Students from those schools can access these classes
from home or their favorite vacation spot via ZOOM.
For more information or to register for classes and camps, go to www.avagallery.org online.

Cedar Circle Farm Summer Camps
Monday–Friday, 9 AM to 4 PM
One-week sessions
June 28–September 3, 2021
Info and registration here: https://cedarcirclefarm.org/education/summer-day-camp
Curiosity and wonder are all around us during our week-long summer camps! Our highly qualified educators believe that students are the most engaged and learn best when their inquisitiveness and hands-on experiences are encouraged and empowered. Explorations through the forest, adventures along the riverbank, and games between the strawberry fields will cultivate a true appreciation for our ecosystems here in the Upper Valley, as well as the farm-fresh food and the community connections available within this unique setting.
Experienced staff facilitate campers ages 6-11 through activities and learning opportunities in groups of no more than ten. In addition to daily farm chores, games, and sensory-based explorations, campers have opportunities throughout the week to choose their own activities.
Some of these activities may include:
-
baking a sweet treat for the whole farm
-
creating and painting garden signs
-
harvesting fruits or veggies from our fields for a snack
-
collecting and identifying insects who live on the farm
-
learning about the food chain while playing a camp-wide game of tag
-
working in teams to complete a scavenger hunt
-
tracking the wildlife that visits the farm
Safety, fun, and community building are at the foundation of our education programs. Our program is designed to instill a strong sense of stewardship and belonging among our campers, the environment, and one another.
