Children's art camp July 31-Aug. 1 , 2025
Welcome to our first ever children's art camp! "Do everything with love, follow your heart & see whe
Our “Gotta have HeART” Art Camp is introducing a wonderful opportunity for children in the St. Helens area to express themselves via a variety of artistic expressions: visual arts, fiber arts, music and dance, theatre, clay arts, story, and more! This may be the first year for HeART Camp, however, the camp is born out of 10 years of experience by Camp Director Esme Culver who led the well-known Grace Art Camp in Portland, Peace Camp, several one-three- day camps, and also led camps to Kenya and Peru. She is well experienced with working among children ages 6 to 12, and her background in Human Resource Staffing allows her to hire excellence in Camp Counselors (ages 16-18+) and Junior Counselors-in-Training (ages 13-16.)
We look forward to launching this new camp opportunity in St. Helens and look forward to making great art with your children and to celebrating all at the close of camp at our Friday celebration.
The camp hours are 9 a.m. - 3 p.m. with extended hours from 3 p.m. – 5 p.m. Please let us know on the registration form if you will need this service. For other questions regarding camp details, please email Esme Culver, Camp Director at motheresme@sthelenschristchurch.org or call 503.397.10133 or Nancy Tarnai, Camp Administrator at socialmedia@sthelenschristchurch.org or call 503.3997.1033.
