SUMMER CAMPS 2024

Homer Watson House & Gallery camps are designed to challenge and develop the skill sets of little artists ages 4-14. Each day is a new artistic adventure and may include painting, drawing, printmaking, sculpting and more. There is something for everyone!  

The most important things to know about camp are… dress for mess and wear old clothes and shoes as we will get MESSY. Don’t forget to pack a water bottle, a nut free lunch and snacks. 

The typical camp day will include 2 longer work periods where we make more detailed art projects.  For example, an acrylic painting or a sculpture. In between, the campers will also complete smaller craft projects, games and outdoor play to get some fresh air while staying safe on-site. 

*Materials are included.

Illness

Summer Sun & Mosquitoes
All campers spend some time outdoors. Campers will be required to provide and apply their own sun screen & bug spray to protect themselves.

Parents are responsible for providing peanut free snacks, lunches and drinks. HWH&G prefers that campers use environmentally friendly packaging such as reusable containers, to reduce waste. Food will not be provided.

Please ensure that your child is dressed appropriately for daily art activities and weather conditions. Kindly label your child’s belongings. Some paints do not wash out of clothes.

HWH&G is not responsible for any lost or damaged belongings of campers while at camp. There are lost & found boxes in all studios.

The Loch Doon area was memorialized in celebrated Scottish poet, Robert Burns piece “Ye banks and braes O’ bonnie Doon”

Ye banks and braes o’ bonny Doon,
How can ye bloom sae fresh and fair?
How can ye chant, ye little birds,
And I sae weary fu’ o’ care?
Thou’lt break my heart, thou warbling bird,
That wantons thro’ the flowering thorn:
Thou minds me o’ departed joys,
Departed, never to return.

Aft hae I rov’d by bonnie Doon,
To see the rose and woodbine twine;
And ilka bird sang o’ its love,
And fondly sae did I o’ mine.
Wi’ lightsome heart I pu’d a rose,
Fu’ sweet upon its thorny tree;
And my fause lover stole my rose,
But, ah! he left the thorn wi’ me.
