CAC Summer Spree at Home

Most summers, the Community Arts Center (CAC) in Wallingford is full of children making art, exploring nature, and forming and renewing friendships.

This year, the traditional Summer Spree program has been reconceived. Summer Spree at Home will provide kids aged 5-12 with a series of kits containing materials and instructions to make art projects anywhere. 

“When trying to decide how to offer camp this year, we wanted it to feel unique and special,” says CAC Director Paul Downie. “We also wanted to find a way to include some of the favorite elements of camp, like tie-dye and the unique stories that have developed around different parts of the CAC property. Kids make an emotional connection to these things.”

Different versions of the kits have been designed for children of different ages. Each one will contain supplies for two main projects, as well as extras. Families may purchase as many or as few as they want. The program will run from July 6 through August 14.

Art classes for teens will be offered online via Zoom.
