For our older teens who are artistically motivated or keen to explore their creative side, join our Inner Artists program for multiday projects with fine art events such as photography, sculpting, painting, and drawing. These larger projects are supported by our most artistic staff who give our teens the ability to choose their own artistic interests and projects. This program has the structure to support the projects and the flexibility to have teens dictate the projects they are making. At the end of the program, we will enjoy an art show with small snacks and refreshments for participants and their families.
