April 25, 2012 (Jackson) - Belhaven University is offering two special camps that explore the arts and shape the talents of students. The Summer Arts Intensive and the Summer Arts Camp are month long camps that will run from July 9 through August 3.

The Summer Art Intensive provides high school students, ninth grade and up, an opportunity to enrich their creative side as well as develop skills and techniques in visual art, creative writing, theatre, music, dance and graphic design. Students will participate in two classes of their choosing, each focusing on one of the specific areas of the arts. Small group classes, taught by qualified professors, not only help students spend their summer creatively but also prepare them for college auditions and portfolios.
