WHAT ARE MERMAID ART & SWIM CAMPS?
These very special camps can be viewed more as an amazing creative retreat, rather than a large bustling camp. Pam's beautiful studio at The Third Street Center in Carbondale is perfect for children who benefit from a creative and calm space with a small group of friends. A great opportunity for kids to explore the wonderful medium of printmaking and do related mermaid art projects, and then to cool off and play at the pool! FYI: Pam is a resident of RVR and children who aren't also residents will go as Pam's pool guests. Scroll down to learn more and to see if Mermaid Camps are right for you!

THIS SUMMER'S THEME: Under The Sea
This summer we're focusing on the wonderful fairytale, The Little Mermaid, and in particular the song, Under The Sea.
OUR BIG PRINTMAKING PROJECT THIS SUMMER:
We make super fun and colorful Gelli-Prints, and then different kinds of block-prints for our amazing mermaids and sea creatures that we put into our handmade books. Your kids will treasure their beautiful printed books for years to come- they are true works of art!
2024 Camps
Dates and more details are coming after the winter holidays!
Camps are small & the projects are the same each week. Pam recommends that you sign up for just one camp.

AN IMPORTANT NOTE TO PARENTS ABOUT THE POOL:
Mermaid Camps are for kids who are comfortable in the water and have had some swimming instruction. RVR has a lifeguard and Pam will also be supervising BUT she will not be able to focus on just one child.
