The Laurent House is excited to announce the return of our summer camp program for students ages 8-16.

Does your child or teen like to design, create, and build? Explore art, design, and architecture with hands-on construction and art-related materials, including Legos® and Froebe!® Blocks-a favorite educational toy of Frank Lloyd Wright. Students will learn how nature inspired Mr. Wright’s visionary work, which includes the beautiful, unique Laurent House, located in Rockford, Illinois.

Dates for camp:

Week 1:  June 12 to 15 (ages 8-11)

Week 2:  June 19 to 22 (ages 8-11)

Week 3:  June 26 to 29 (ages 12-16)

Week 4:  July 10 to 13 (ages 8-11)  ** SOLD OUT **

Camp will be held Monday through Thursday morning from 9 a.m. to noon. The cost per week is $85 with financial assistance available for families in need.

Our camp is once again being taught by local art educator Betsy Anderson.
