summer camps june 17-aug 17, 2013
CSMA offers 50 art and music-themed camps for students in Grades K-8. Taught by our professional faculty, camps offer 2 1/2 hours of daily instruction (Mon-Fri) and meet in either the morning (9:30 am - noon) OR the afternoon (1 - 3:30 pm).
Our program offers a diversity of choices designed to expose your child to the rich multi-cultural, multi-faceted world of the arts. A low teacher-student ratio ensures individualized attention. Projects provide the opportunity for campers to work on their own and on collaborative projects. End-of-camp exhibitions and performances provide young artists the chance to share with family and friends and to showcase their creations.
