After School Arts Camp Returns For Fall

Livia and Deanna enjoy an afternoon at the Faith After School Arts Camp last year.  Registration has begun for the weekly camp's second year.

The Faith After School Arts Camp begins its second year on Wednesday, September 4.

The camp at Faith Lutheran Church, 16511 Hilliard Road, Lakewood, is open to all students in grades K-5. Registration is required and is limited to 15 students.

Activities include painting, drawing, crafts, writing, photography and music. Children are supervised by adult volunteers who have undergone background screening.

The camp opens at 3 p.m. each Wednesday that Lakewood Schools are in session. Activities wrap up by 5:15 p.m. Parents must pick up their children by 5:30 p.m.

Students at Hayes Elementary School meet volunteers after school and walk to Faith. Other children are dropped off at Faith by parents or grandparents.

Volunteers include retired teachers, an experienced tutor, a graphic designer, two former newspaper writers, and a grandparent of children in Lakewood schools.

Artists from the community also provide additional instruction and activities. 

The annual fee for participation is $10. Registration forms are available through the office at Faith or online at www.faithlakewood.org.

For more information, contact Faith’s office at 216-226-6500 or by e-mail at office@faithlakewood.org.
