Art Camp with Guest Artist and Author Mavis Stevens: A Day to Remember!

We had an incredible day at Art Camp with our special guest, Mavis Stevens, author and artist of "Last Chance Trailer Park." The day was packed with hands-on activities, creativity, and lots of fun!

Photo Shoot Fun: Next, we had a fantastic photo shoot. We borrowed a painted insulation board from Maclay Fine Arts' Celebration of the Arts, where Mavis was the highlighted artist (She was our artist in residence for the day). The board had holes cut out for our faces, and we had a blast taking silly and fun photos. After the photo shoot, we laminated the pictures so everyone could keep their memories safe and sound.

Hands-On Experience: Making Ornaments We started our day by making unique ornaments. Using pony beads and pipe cleaners, the children created beautiful keepsakes to take home. It was amazing to see their creativity shine through in each piece they made. Mavis joined us, sharing her tips and tricks and making the experience even more special.

Dance Party Brain Break After all the crafting and photo fun, it was time for a brain break. What better way to unwind than with a dance party? Mavis led the way, and we all danced our hearts out. It was a great way to recharge and enjoy some laughs together.

Making Memories and Being Present: Throughout the day, we focused on being present in the moment and making lasting memories. The children had a wonderful time engaging in hands-on activities, expressing their creativity, and enjoying the company of Mavis Stevens. It was a day filled with laughter, learning, and lots of fun.

This Art Camp experience with Mavis Stevens was truly one to remember. The ornaments, photos, and memories made will be cherished for a long time. Thank you to everyone who joined us and made the day so special!
