SUMMER Day Camps
Cartooniversity summer camps are a unique opportunity for kids of any skill level to learn all aspects of cartoon drawing from local professional cartoonist, Jeff Johnson. This week-long day camp emphasizes developing each child’s artistic style in a positive, encouraging environment. All your camper needs to bring is a lunch, a lidded water bottle if desired, and a positive attitude!
All supplies will be furnished by the instructor and placed in individual Ziploc bags, which are to be kept with the student in class throughout the week and taken home after class on Friday.
While Cartooniversity is operating under COVID-19 safety guidelines, campers are asked to keep their materials, food, and drinks to themselves.

Strict adherence to State and local Health Department COVID-19 safety guidelines will be required of ALL participants. This includes: wearing masks that cover the mouth and nose at all times, social distancing, and frequent sanitization of hands and work surfaces.
