</span></i><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">There are still a few spaces available for the Kelowna Art Gallery’s summer camps for children and youth.
<i>Art Adventures</i> camps are organized for preschool children ages 3 to 5, for children ages 6 to 8, and for youth ages 9 to 12. Full-day camps, half-day camps, and partial-morning pre-school camps are scheduled Monday through Friday, beginning July 3 until
August 24, 2018. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">During the camps, children can expect to develop skills in drawing, painting, printmaking, mixed media, and sculpture, while being inspired by
the current exhibitions on view at the Gallery. Scheduled guest artists will also play a pivotal role at each of the camps, as they share their expertise with the children and help them develop a better understanding of art.

Public Programming Coordinator at the Kelowna Art Gallery. “We know many of the kids will be tired of classrooms by summer, so we make sure to take the kids out on fun and exciting off-site trips to inspire their imaginations.”
