There are tuition scholarships available for eligible families for children to attend Arts in Action at Camp Hochstein in both Rochester and the Canandaigua locations. Arts in Action Camps continue Monday, July 19 and run weekly through July 30. There are half-day sessions (9:00am – 12noon) for ages 4-8 and one full-day session (9:00am – 3:30pm) for students entering grades 1-4, where each day the children attend arts-related classes. This year’s themes in Rochester, Many Places, Many Faces, where children set out on a musical journey to visit other children and cultures around the world, and Barnyard Hoedown, where classical music, folk songs, and tales inspire the sounds of moo-sic! This year’s themes in Canandaigua are Up, Up, and Away, a musical discovery of the many things that move in the sky. Each Friday there is an informal performance where the campers perform and display their artwork.
Call Hochstein today to register your child for one of these fun-filled weeks. There is an $8 registration fee. The normal cost for half-day camps is $110 and for the full-day session it’s $195. Students not eligible for the full scholarships, but requiring tuition assistance may apply through the Dean’s Office.
