Or, you can apply this gift towards the purchase of a full-day slot (valued at $255/week for non-members and $235/week for members). What a deal!

Sawtooth provides art education to nurture the development of critical thinking, aesthetic appreciation, creativity, and personal growth. The school offers a number of different camp programs for children ages 4 through 11 beginning June 22. In addition there are great “Art Focus” camps for 3rd-5th and 6-8th graders with workshops focused on ceramics, animation, jewelry making and digital photography.

Here’s what Clare A, a loyal TSP reader, had to say about her experience at Sawtooth:

“Since we have recently moved to a new house, I have discovered ‘new’ treasures in some of the boxes as we unpacked. A nice example includes some pottery pieces, crafted and painted by my now 13-year-old daughter, Katie Gray, several years ago.

She had attended a friend’s birthday party at the Sawtooth where each child had made a little pottery sculpture. She had a really fun time, and we signed her up for a 1-week camp at the Sawtooth that summer. She took more pottery classes and made a few pieces that will remain among our favorite pieces of art for life. (She also had a really good time!)

A friend of my parents’ recently told me that she still had her grown son’s handmade pottery from his childhood out on display in their living room. Of all the art that children make, very few pieces are kept and treasured this long. I have decided it is time to bring those pottery animals out and display them in a more prized spot in our new living room now.”

So if you’re still on the hunt for summer camp ideas, here’s the perfect solution! Your child will not only have fun, but will have an adventure, discover his or her hidden talents, and have lots of laughs during this ‘artful’ experience!
