EATON — The Preble County Art Association is offering Summer art camps this June and early July at the Visual Art Center.

With school out for summer break, it’s a perfect time to have fun and get creative at the art center. There will be morning and afternoon camps for grades K-6 throughout the month of June. There will also be a pre-K camp and a camp for teens.

Parents can sign kids up for morning camps from 9 a.m.-noon, afternoon camps from 1-4 p.m., or for the whole day.

The cost is $75 half day and $95 for a whole day for members for a week-long camp, $150 half day, $190 whole day for the week-long camp for non-members. This breaks down to less than $5 per hour for members and less than $6 per hour for non-members.

Anyone is eligible to purchase a PCAA membership. Students in 7th grade or higher may apply to volunteer as camp assistants. Doors will open at 8:30 a.m. each morning for drop off convenience but kids may want to bring an activity to occupy themselves until the 9 a.m. start time. PCAA will provide both a morning and afternoon snack but campers will need to bring their own lunch.
