NEWTON — The Sussex County Arts and Heritage Council is again offering alternative activities for children to get involved in during their summer break from the classrooms. For two weeks this summer, July 9 through 13 and July 16 through 20, the council will be hosting Summer Art Camp for Kids, an exploration of art mediums for children entering fourth through eighth grades. Camp is from 9:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m., with a different art form taught each day by a professional artist contracted to teach at the camp. Once the schedule is finalized, a complete list of the instructors and their classes will be available on the council’s website, www.scahc.org.
