Summer Mermaid Art & Swim Camps 2023
For Kids Entering Grades 1-6, 9:00-1:00, Tues-Fri. All Camps are sold out for the summer. See you next year.
WHAT ARE MERMAID 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. Camps meet Tuesday-Friday, 9am to 1pm. We'll have three art days at the studio and one pool day at the RVR pool. (Scroll down to see the weekly schedule). Pam is a resident of River Valley Ranch and children who aren't also residents will go as Pam's pool guests. Note: To keep up with inflation, mermaid camps cost a bit more this summer ($350) but EVERYTHING is included: top notch art materials, pool entry fee, special treats at the pool, etc. Your children will love these camps. Hear what past mermaid campers say...

THIS SUMMER'S THEME: NORDIC MERMAIDS
This summer we're focusing on Nordic Mermaids. Pam has Scandinavian ancestors and took a trip there years ago. She loved the beautiful scenery, the strong people, and most of all the fjords where many mermaids live.
PROJECTS THIS SUMMER:
Spinning fjord seascapes with mermaids and Viking ships, pompom seals and reindeer, Northern Lights lanterns, Scandinavian design mermaid wands, folk art coloring booklets & more! Top notch materials and fun mermaid surprises are provided, and pool entry and special treats at the pool are all included!

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. This is especially important this summer since Pam is lowering the starting age to kids entering 1st grade!
Pam is an excellent swimmer and has taught kids' swimming and synchronized swimming classes. Your kids will be well-supervised, will have a great time, and will learn something too!
