When I was a kid growing up in small town Minnesota, I didn't realize the opportunities I had to be creative during the summer. I always thought my options were sports camps and Bible Camps. I loved my Bible camp, but I did not enjoy sports.
Now, living here in the Twin Cities metro, I realize how many options there are for kids who are creative. And we aren't talking just about visual arts. Art mediums abound. There are tons of camps for those different mediums.
Here are just some of the options.
