As I told you earlier in the week the Worcester County Arts Council was holding their annual Arts Camp. Each year the week after school is out about one dozen Artists of all kinds, and talents come to Berlin Intermediate School for the week to teach our children who have signed up to participate in the program a bit of their craft.
This year we had a Scupture class, Abrstract Painting, Art of the Islands, Drama, Dancing, Printmaking and Bookmaking, Pencil Drawing, Native American Arts, Leathermaking, Jewelery making, Paper Mache, basket weaving and loom Weaving.
Each child participates in three sessions per day where they work on one or several projects they have chosen in each craft.
This years work was a stunning, as we had so many talented children to work and share with.
On Friday the final day of cam
p we usually have the children who participated in drama and dance camps do a performance for all of the campers and their parents. We did this again this year, with the added bonus of a wonderful musical group that is from the US but have traveled and lived all over the world studying music and different cultures musical instruments all of which they brought with them today to share with us.The Group goes by the name of Nada Bhrama (don't know what it means) and they performed great interactive musical numbers utilizing all of these strange instruments from alll over the world and getting our kids to play with them and actually sound good.
Needless to say every child and every adult had a great time with Nada Bhrama as our grand finale they were truly exceptional.
So don't forget next year when this time rolls around again, I have a link on this site to the WCAC, and get your kids enrolled in a great time!
You can also become a member of the Arts Council and when you do you will be included on our mailing list of featured artists who will be on display at the Galleries in Snow Hill and Berlin it is a wonderful organization and one that you can be proud of being a part of .

Wymzie,
What makes a student eligible for the art camp? Sounds like something my granddaughter would love. She lives in Salisbury.
Thanks.
Hi Anon!
Arts Camp is sponsored by the Worcester County Arts Council and is available to all students entering 3rd through 8th grades.
Costs are $55.00 for one week, and the greatest thing about it is that each of the teachers are actual artists who share their talents to a small group of kids who want to learn.
We have yet to encounter diciplinary problems because the children pick which classes they want to be in so they aren't doing something that they really aren't interested in doing.
You can simply go to http://worcestercountyartscouncil.org
and click on the Summer Arts Camp link. There you can even download the application which you can send in for next years camp.
Each year we try to offer different classes and teachers to teach them.
Be sure to put it on your calendar and register early enough so that she will be able to get into the classes that she wants.
Additionally, if you become a member of the Arts Council we offer a discount for camp!
i almost forgot, i went to buckingham as a little kid.
