4 spots left in OJAC camps

By Sidney Bartee

The deadline for the Old Jail Art Center children’s workshop has passed, but organizers are willing to accept a couple more signups.

According to education director Erin Whitmore, four spots are available for the 2021 camps, and families need to sign up as soon as possible if they want to participate.

This year, workshops are being held virtually for students in first through sixth grade. 

Students who register will receive supplies for crafts in the mail and a password to access step-by-step instructions for each craft.

Instruction videos will be posted at 10:00 a.m. on the mornings of the events.

The Cultural Connections Camp, centered around India, is scheduled for Aug. 3-5.

Students will have the opportunity to learn about the culture, music, food, and art of India.

Participants will receive crafts, activities, snacks, games, and gifts for all three camps.

The Things on Strings: Puppet Workshop is set for Aug. 10 through Aug. 12.

Finally, on Aug. 17-19, Frontier Fort Kids will take place.

Children of OJAC members can participate free, but the cost for non-members is $15 per camper.

Parents can register their children at theojac.org/summer-workshops or call the Old Jail Art Center at 325-762-2269 for questions and information.
