Creativity Camp Kids Awestruck!
It's not everyday that an astronaut drops by our Creativity Camps, but this past week's camp's theme, "It's an Intergalactic World" called for it.
The children went on to create their own space outfits (with helmets!) There are two more themed creativity camps this summer: July 28 through July 31 and August 11 through August 14. For pricing and information go to ChuckJonesCenter.org or call Sasha Advani at 949-660-7793 x 107.

About Us
The Chuck Jones Center for Creativity, a 501(c)3 non-profit organization, was founded in 1999 by the four-time Academy Award-recipient, legendary director and creator Chuck Jones. The Center is located in Orange County, California at South Coast Collection, just north of the 405 at Harbor Boulevard.
The Center's vision is to inspire the innate creative genius within each person that leads to a more joyous, passionate, and harmonious life and world.
In today's world, when arts education is practically non-existent, this is an important goal; we are dedicated to reinvigorating the creative spirit and we are doing it through art classes, exhibitions, lectures, and film festivals, all of which spring from the material in the Chuck Jones archive. Jones was a determined saver and his writings, art, and other ephemera from a nine-decade life along with his philosophy of guiding and nurturing instruction form the basis of our programs.
