***ART INSTRUCTORS***

Art Instructors at Ballibay teach in our 'open studio' art program. Each camper has his or her own schedule, and campers interested in art will come into the studios to begin new projects, continue working on projects already started, or participate in demonstarions or informal classes.

Our art staff's role is to provide inspiration, assistance and materials for the campers who wish to work on projects, and to organize demonstrations and informal classes for students interested in learning specific skills. Our art department organizes several art exhibitions each summer, but these are not the focus of our program; our art staff spend the majority of their time working one on one with motivated campers in a relaxed, creative environment.

Most art instructors are also cabin counselors (see benefits section).
