This summer, creativity takes center stage at Bower Center for the Arts with exciting opportunities for young imaginations to shine! Our final three engaging summer camps invite youth to explore art in imaginative ways, from discovering America’s artistic heritage, to bringing stories to life through upcycled materials and music, to diving into whimsical ocean adventures filled with mermaids and pirates. Scholarships are available by applying HERE.
Beyond camp, our CAB Kids series adds even more hands-on fun with a lively Dino Day in collaboration with Bedford Public Library & Wharton Garden, featuring fossil digs, egg hunts, and creative activities, as well as an interactive puppetry experience and with Ty-Rone Travis, where kids can enjoy a playful performance and create their own puppets to continue storytelling at home.
