WACKY - Winter Day Camps 2025
Registration now open!
Winter Day Camps are here, just in time for the holiday break!
Scheduled for Monday December 22, 2025, the Arts Council is offering both an AM session from 9am - 12pm and a PM session from 1pm - 4pm. The am and pm classes have different themes, so we welcome you to join us for both sessions. Note: If attending both sessions, please arrange for your child to take a lunch break with a guardian. Our instructors use this time to have lunch and turn the classroom over for the next session.
Our camp sessions are 3 hours in length and designed for ages 6-12yrs. Each session includes unique winter themed projects to inspire your budding artist.
Location: The Point at Otterbein; Room 139; 60 College View Rd. Westerville, OH 43081

Youth Art Workshops
WACKY started in December 2016 and provides art opportunities to children ages 6 to 12. The program ran through March 2020. We re-launched the program in 2022 to be held on the third Wednesday of every month, 6 to 8 p.m. These workshops are art lessons taught by an instructor with a degree in fine arts and art education. Each session stretches a child’s creativity and allows them the freedom to express themselves. The fee is $25 per workshop and covers all materials and instruction. Classes are held at Otterbein’s The Point, 60 Collegeview Road, Westerville.
