NEW!
NCMA TRACK-OUT CAMPS

Let your child’s ideas and imagination soar throughout the year! Children can now explore nature and the arts while “tracked-out” of year-round education. These programs are also great if you home-school your children or are just looking to enhance their creative development.

Track-Out Programs include activities for children ages 6–8 and 9–12 selected from drawing, painting, sculpture, mixed media, nature walks, gallery experiences, and interactive arts, including music, creative movement, storytelling, and poetry. Each program offering is unique, so students may sign up for one, two, or three sessions during their Track-Out period.

September 8–December 19
$250 ($220 Members) per five-day session
9 a.m.–4:30 p.m., Monday–Friday
8 a.m., Early morning drop-off ($30 per session)
Students bring a bag lunch, snacks, and a drink.

For more information or to register, call the Education Department weekdays at (919) 664-6776.
