Tandem Friends School Spectrum

Spectrum Summer Program at Tandem Friends

Spectrum Summer Program is a fun and educational program designed for rising 1st through 6th graders. It offers a safe and nurturing environment where children can learn and enjoy different art forms, express their creativity and develop their artistic skills through hands-on activities and projects. The camp allows children to explore different art mediums, such as painting, drawing, sculpture, printmaking, mixed media, theater, dance, music, drumming, sewing, and more, under the guidance of experienced and qualified instructors. The instructors provide technical knowledge and skill-building opportunities while fostering your child’s imagination and creativity. Your child can choose activities to engage in while working closely with peers, counselors, and instructors throughout their session.

Important Notes for Spectrum 2023:

Tuition includes four daily high-quality, engaging, fun art classes, daily lunch, morning and afternoon snacks, and a 2023 Spectrum Summer Program T-shirt.
Camp hours have been extended this summer. Programming will begin at 9:00am and end at 3:30pm. Extended Day will begin at 8:00am and run through 5:30pm for an additional fee.
Campers will be offered programmatic class choices during their two-week session (offerings will be shared either right before camp starts or throughout the session, depending on the age group). You will not need to select individual class options when you register.
High school-aged counselors will be returning this summer to assist the instructors in working with your children in their art explorations and to mentor students throughout the day.
