OCALA, FL (352today.com) – The Appleton Museum of Art’s Summer Art Camp returns June through August, offering half-day sessions for ages 5-17. Led by professional educators, campers will explore techniques, experiment with materials, and learn from renowned artists.

“Appleton summer art camps sell out quickly since our expert educators are engaged teachers delivering classes within a world-class museum environment,” says Jason Steuber, Appleton’s director. “Our decades of experience make camp a summer tradition destination.”

Discounts are available for Appleton members. Register at AppletonMuseum.org or email AppletonEducation@cf.edu.
