PRESQUE ISLE, Maine — Registration is now open for Wintergreen Art Center’s Summer Arts Program.
Camps begin on June 28 and includes Art with HeART located at 39 Davis Street in partnership with the Presque Isle Housing Authority and digital and visual arts camps at Wintergreen’s new location at the Aroostook Centre Mall.
“We are very excited to welcome Shaye McHatten back to our Summer Arts Program,” said Dottie Hutchins, Wintergreen’s executive director. “From her signature program, Art with HeART, to Create-a-Castle Camp, STEAM Camp, and more, this is Shaye’s fifth year touching young lives through the visual arts at Wintergreen.”
Josh Archer, Wintergreen’s digital arts teacher, is leading a series of weekly digital arts camps throughout the summer.
“Josh is doing amazing things at Wintergreen,” said Hutchins. “He is making all his favorite after school sessions into weekly arts camps — robotics, video production, and more — so we’ll have weekly digital arts camps from June through the middle of August. It is an action-packed, fun-filled lineup.”
In July, additional weekly arts camps will be offered at the Sargent Family Community Center in partnership with the Presque Isle Parks and Recreation Department.
“We are pleased to announce that Melanie Cyr, Wintergreen’s private party planner, is joining our summer arts teaching staff,” added Hutchins. “In July and August, Melanie is teaching photography, arts and crafts, and a nature-themed camp at the Rec Center for us. We are so excited to partner with the Rec Department’s team and have Melanie on location.”
