Summer Arts Camp 2023!
We are excited to bring back summer arts camp, but with a twist. This year’s camps are free thanks to a grant from Weyerhaeuser! We will be partnering with the Boys & Girls Club of Ruston for art camps during session one (July 10-14) and session two (July 17-21). For session 3 (July 24-28) and session 4 (July 31-August 4) we will be opening camps up to public registration. The last two public sessions will be located at the Lincoln Parish Library in the Children’s Department Story Time Room. Join us for a week of visual arts lessons developed by local art educators.
To register parents can call us at (318) 224-7072, email us at info@nclac.org, or send us a message on our NCLAC Facebook.
We want to thank Weyerhaeuser for being our sole financial sponsor for this project! We also want to thank our partners the Boys & Girls Club of Ruston and the Lincoln Parish Library! Without community partnerships and sponsors such as these, projects like our Summer Arts Camps would not be possible.
