Our goal is for each student to produce five projects that will go home with them to enjoy or give as gifts.

Registration fee includes materials such as clay and glazes, supplies, snack, and a camp t-shirt!

Projects need time to dry and will be fired in a kiln.  Therefore, final projects will be available for pick up approximately 2 weeks after camp.  The McKinney Center and camp instructors will notify parents when items are ready.
