Summer will be here sooner than you think, and parents are already starting to plan how to keep their children educated, entertained and engaged during their time off from school. If you’re looking for a unique and enriching experience for your kids, register for GlassRoots Summer Camp Open House on Saturday, March 25, in Newark, NJ.
GlassRoots provides a creative outlet for young people to explore the art and science of glassmaking. During the summer months, GlassRoots offers a variety of camps for kids of all ages, including glass blowing, flameworking, and glass fusing. The camp combines hands-on learning with fun, making it a perfect blend of creativity and play.
One of the things that sets GlassRoots apart from other summer camps is its focus on STEM/STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math) education. The camp’s experienced instructors use the process of glassmaking to teach kids about the properties of materials, temperature control, and the science of color. Children learn about the history of glass, from ancient civilizations to the present day, and how it has been used for everything from practical applications to artistic expression.
But it’s not just about the science and history of glass. GlassRoots Summer Camp is also a place for kids to be creative and express themselves. Children are given the opportunity to design and make their own glass creations, whether it’s colorful jewelry, a glass sculpture, or a functional piece of art. And at the end of the camp week, they get to take home their finished projects to show off to their friends and family.
“Education is the key to unlocking the potential of every child, and at GlassRoots, we believe that creativity and hands-on learning are essential to that process,” said Carol Losos, Executive Director of GlassRoots. “Our summer camp offers a unique opportunity for kids to explore the art and science of glassmaking, while also fostering critical thinking skills, collaboration, and self-expression. We are committed to providing a safe and nurturing environment where children can discover their own potential and be inspired to reach for the stars.”
The camp is held in GlassRoots’ studio, downtown Newark, where kids have access to professional equipment and materials. In addition to the glassmaking activities, GlassRoots Summer Camp also includes outdoor games, arts and crafts, and educational field trips. The camp is designed to be a well-rounded experience that fosters creativity, curiosity, and a love of learning.
If you’re looking for a summer camp that combines creativity, fun, and learning, then GlassRoots Summer Camp is the perfect choice. With its focus on STEM education and its commitment to providing a well-rounded experience, your child is sure to have a summer they’ll never forget. Sign up now before spaces fill up!
