I remember spending my summer vacations as a child skiing at Lake Gaston and making sand castles at Atlantic Beach. But my greatest summer memories are from my grandparents’ house. I am almost positive my parents still have back pain from carrying my craft box from place to place each summer. I still have that same craft box today and we are putting it to good use at my new business, Wine & Design Charlotte.
At Wine & Design we encourage adults to bring a bottle of wine and enjoy an unforgettable evening filled with friends, fun, and fabulous art! We provide the canvas, paints, paintbrushes, and corkscrew. No experience in painting? No problem, our local artists guide you step-by-step! Our paintings are suitable for the first-time painter or for more experienced artists.
But the fun doesn’t stop with our adult classes! We also have a kids division called ART BUZZ Kids. The ART BUZZ program provides weekend painting classes, birthday parties, Holiday Camps, and 4 weeks of Summer Camp for kids ages 4 and up.
Each time we have an ART BUZZ event I take out my trusty old craft box and can’t help but remember how much fun I had being a little Picasso as a kid. Helping other kids like me make memories with art means as much to me as a thousand trips to and from Grandma’s house.
This summer we will be walking on the wild side with 2 weeks of Amazon Adventure Camp and we will put our shades on for 2 weeks of Island Paradise Camp. Each themed week will be filled with crazy imaginations, hands on activities, incredible paintings, & mixed medium crafts.
I recently had the opportunity to meet Katie, from Charlotte Mom Favorites, and I was thrilled that her son Graham will be attending our 2012 Amazon Adventure Camp. Our camp is perfect for girls and boys ages 4-12 and we are flexible if you have an older child that really wants to come to camp. We also are offering a sibling discount, so your kids can join in on the summer fun together!
Our camps are a new and exciting way to mix up your child’s time off from school this summer. We will keep their creative and artistic juices flowing, all while having fun and creating masterpieces that will last a lifetime!
Located off of East Blvd., one week of camp is $200 per child and $175 for each additional child. Dates and the online registration link are listed below. Happy camping!!

A note from Katie:
Y’all know I am not a crafter. Which is why I’m sending my kid off to art camp to get his fix for all things scissors, glue, paint and glitter. Want to have your kid join G-man?
