19 local kids spent their week at the Ormond Memorial Art Museum for their Amber Waves and Apple Pie Summer Camp.

USA was the theme of this week’s art camp for 19 young artists and crafters.

Amber Waves and Apple Pie was held June 23 to June 27 at the Ormond Memorial Art Museum. Campers created everything patriotic from tye dye to paper bag books for veterans to storytelling quilts ‑ just in time for the 4^th of July.

“We hope they can learn some new art skills,” Teacher’s Assistant and local artist Kristin Heron said. “They will learn about different lines and composition. So they’ll be learning some skills and having fun.”

Sadie Tolbert, a junior at Father-Lopez Catholic High School, wanted to help volunteer with the camp because of her love of art and kids.

“I like abstract art more,” Tolbert said. “I’m out of the box. So seeing all the kids’ designs is very fun.”

The next camp, Shipwrecks and Treasures, will be held just July 14 to July 18. Call 676-3347 to register.
