There used to be an arts program st Tot Land (McGee Ave. in Berkeley). Hope it's still operating. Kaylen Mayer runs a great summer camp for young artists

Re: Drawing Class for 6 year old
I recommend that you look in to the art program YAWS run by Jennifer Burke. http://www.youngartistsworkspace.org/about-us/. Jen has the skills to bring out the most creative work from children. My children have loved working with her. She is a woman with a deep soul and a soaring spirit! richtoad

Dear Berkeley Parents, the two most wholesome camps my daughter ever attended were YAWS (Jennifer Burke (YAWS ART CAMP) 510 220-8408 jennyaws[at]yahoo.com. Jennifer the (Master Mind of K-3 Art Classes at Prospect Sierra) has amazed many of us in the past years with her brilliant ideas. Tom's www.cleverscampcamp.com in Canyon (between Montclair and Moraga) 925 210-7460 continously amazes young ears as they hear of princesses so beautiful that they get blinded by their own beauty. We always carpooled and it is a sure old fashioned summer treat for every child set within a Redwood Grove and a brook to boot. Martina
