Camp Location: Hughes Fine Arts Center, UND Campus
Drop Off Time: 8:45 – 9:00 am
Pick Up Time: 3:00 – 3:15 pm
Parking is located in the Hughes Fine Arts Center lot
Lunches and Snacks:
Each camper must bring their lunch, unless you have purchased a lunch box from the Museum Café.
Please note there is no access to refrigeration or heating appliances. Campers cannot be allowed to use vending machines. Snacks will be provided by the Museum once a day, e.g., a juice box and serving-size bag of chips.
We appreciate that some parents offer to supply snacks for the day. If you wish to do this, please let us know a day in advance.
Suggestions to Pack:
Ask your camper(s) to wear appropriate clothes that can get stained. After all, this is an art-making camp and we’ll be getting messy.
Each camper is assigned a locker. You may wish to consider packing a sweater or light jacket (air conditioning in the building can get cool), comfortable shoes for standing, walking, and playing outside, hat or sunglasses, and sunscreen. Please mark all items. Leftover items are donated at the end of each camp.
Receptions:
On Fridays at 2:00 pm the campers design and hold a brief reception and art show for parents, friends, and family. Park in the same area that you drop them off in the morning. The campers are proud of their week’s work. We encourage you to show your support by attending the reception. This is also a time for you to meet the teaching artist, Museum staff, and all the other campers and families that make camps possible. Please prepare to take home the artwork at 3:00 pm, after the reception. You will want to bring your camera.
Registration for this schedule starts on 05/07/2025 and ends on 06/10/2025
Participants must be 6 years to 9 years old when the program starts.
Hello Writers! My name is Rhiannon Conley. I’m from Grand Forks and work as a composition and creative writing instructor at UND. “This is my second NDMOA camp and I’m so excited for this summer! Last summer we had a great time not just writing but painting, drawing, wandering around campus, reading, talking and making things! We learned about journalism, fiction, poetry and creative nonfiction and crafted in various multigenre multimedia formats. Campers wrote poems and visual poems, wrote short stories and comics, constructed books and storytelling games. We ended the week with an open mic where the kids were invited to read and talk about their writing. This summer we are going to do it all again: write, draw, fold paper, make zines, interview friends, do research, tell stories, tell jokes, cut paper, glue stuff, play with shaving cream, and get weird.”
