Gwen L. Cordner Beriln Art Camp A Success Editor: A highlight of summer for the Art League is always our children's art programs. This year, the building was filled with the joy of kids making art for four weeks, during art adventure camp, which attracted 173 children ages 5-13 participated in the program. The camp was held in partnership with the Town of OC Recreation Department which handled the registrations and provided the Tshirts, goody bags and awards. Art camp was held at the new Ocean City Center for the Arts on 94 Street. The daily activities included a variety of projects such as painting, drawing, mixed media, fiber arts, clay, jewelry making and sculpture. The kids got a chance to make their own felt, build sculpture out of ordinary materials like cereal boxes, toothpicks and paper clips, learn coil and slab clay techniques and express themselves through their artwork. Each four-day session concluded with an art reception featuring their work. The counselors were accomplished teachers Kathi Stevens, Natalee Palmer and Angela Pierce, and they were assisted by Monika Lilley and Katie Rosinski. Some of the children had participated in previous years and had been part of the "fish project," an installation art piece on display at the art center. Others signed up for one week and enjoyed it so much they returned for subsequent weeks. Thanks go out to the guest artists and volunteers who came out and assisted: Barbara Doyle Schmid, Stasia Heubeck, George Hamaty, Rebecca Morgan, Eizabeth Galloway, Sharon Hilty and Betty Everson. Our gratitude to OC Recreation Supervisor Al "Hondo" Handy, who has been inspiring young people in Ocean City for 33 years and to Kate Gaddis for her help coordinating the camp. Mark your calendars for next year’s art adventure camp and be sure to check out the new Ocean City Center for the Arts for yearround art classes for kids and adults.
