Participants will decide on their declarations, assemble and intentionally live out chosen declarations as a personal commitment to living a harmonious life. Through the process of creating your adornments, you will dream of your future, and later wear your mantras! The Declaration Bracelet Bar is a tangible reminder to be the best version of yourself, an EXPERIENCE for personal and professional development. The Declaration Bracelet bar is for both adults and youth, with collections for all ages available. All beads are handmade using polymer clay. All supplies included.

The goal of Spring Break Arts Camp is to encourage and reveal the talents of every student to highlight the impact the arts have on young children in developing their creative skills, social interactions, and cultural awareness.

During the Spring Break Arts Camp, artists will work with each student on specific projects within their discipline that reflect and expand on a common theme addressed by all the teachers. The four main art forms that will be explored are 3-D art, 2-D art, Theater, and Music. The camp concludes with a Celebration of Success, in order for families to enjoy a final performance and debut of all of the work the campers work toward throughout the week.
