Andrews, Executive Director of the Coral Springs Museum of Art. "Inspired by the creative surroundings of the Museum's galleries and sculpture gardens, each week campers will get a chance to discover something new."

The "Summer in the Studio" summer camp program at the Coral Springs Museum of Art, which begins the week of June 13, 2016 and ends the week of August 19, 2016, features a variety of sessions, separated by age group.

"The children who participate in our summer camp program get to come away with an experience like no other because of the resources and access we are able to offer them," said Andrews. "From our ceramics series to our 3D modeling sessions, we urge the students to get a little messy – so they can truly experience and enjoy the process of creating art."
