Overview

Students will learn how to work cooperatively and collaborate in the arts. Personal expression will evolve as students become confident in a variety of art forms and learn new skills for creative expression. Parents are welcome to stay the first morning until Morning Sing is over. In the event of low enrollment in any given week, it’s possible that Multi-Arts and Artist Discovery classes will be combined.

Idyllwild is an ideal vacation area offering hiking, shopping, many restaurants, and quaint motels and cabins. You can book a vacation for yourself and give your child the gift of the Artist Discovery Program.

Additional Information

The Artist Discovery program is open-admission. Instructors will work with your child at their level. Your child will improve and learn new skills, regardless of their level of experience (or lack thereof).
