SCAN offering summer classes!

The Scottsville Center for Arts and Nature has options for all ages this summer! See their current list of classes and camps this summer.

Miss Joia’s Musical Mornings: Classes are held Mondays from 10-10:45am at Victory Hall. Ages 18 months + (attended with a caregiver). This class is a great introduction to musical concepts such as beat, tone, melody, and harmony AND a wonderful opportunity for littles to make new friends and practice social skills! Join other littles and caregivers each week for a fun (and sometimes silly), collaborative music and movement exploration with Miss Joia. Pre-registration is required.

All-Level Djembe and Dunun: Classes are held Thursdays from 6:30-8 pm. Cost is $100 for the full 6-weeks, or $20 per class for drop-ins. All levels of experience welcome and some loaner drums available. RSVP to reserve a drum!

Introduction to Digital Photography: Classes are Saturdays, July 6, 13, 20, 27 & August 3, 10 from 1-2:30pm. Ages 10-17. Cost is $60. This 6-week course will cover nature photography, portraiture, action shots, how to tell a story in one photo, how to make and use reflectors and more. Each week, attendees will learn a new technique (or a few techniques) that will make for a better photo. Participants will look at examples of pictures demonstrating that technique in use then have a week to practice what was learned. By the end of the 6 weeks, students will have learned the secrets to better, beautiful, creative, eye-catching photos! Contact Instructor Karen Degiorgis for sign up and any questions: karendegiorgis@gmail.com.

Nutcracker in July Camp: Camp will be held July 9-11 from 9am-12pm for ages 3-6. Cost is $153.00. In partnership with the Charlottesville Ballet Academy, this camp will offer your student a deep dive into all things Nutcracker! Featuring ballet basics, the story of The Nutcracker, and Nutcracker crafts and enrichment activities, this is a great camp for students to learn about Charlottesville Ballet’s annual professional production of The Nutcracker.
