August Arts is a week-long camp sponsored by the Shoreline-Lake Forest Park Arts Council where students explore several areas of the arts with accomplished artist-educators. Students choose a main area of interest for emphasis (core class) where they spend three hours each day. They also choose two other areas as elective classes for the rest of their day.

This program is open to students who have completed 3rd through 6th grade and have a serious interest in learning more about the arts. Registration deadline is July 11, 2014, and costs $240.

A limited number of scholarships up to $100 are available. Email for details. Each class is limited to 12 and enrollment is on a space available basis. For more information and class descriptions visit the website to download an application.

Don’t forget the music lovers in your family! Shoreline Jazz Camp strives to provide young musicians the opportunity to learn and play with some of the region’s most accomplished teachers and performers. This program creates a safe and structured learning environment, in which students of varying skill levels are able to share in the joy of playing jazz. The camp includes instruction in large and small ensembles, and a series of master classes that are designed to refine the individual’s skills and understanding of jazz.
