New Expanded Summer Art Camp Programs for 2008!

Welcome our New Camp Coordinator -- Amy Brinkerhoff!

We are so thrilled that Amy is joining Art Camp as our Coordinator. She brings a richness of gifts and experience, an innate joyful zest for living and built-in know-how about running a camp.

Amy holds dual BA Degrees in Art History and French, which she speaks fluently. She is a classical pianist and has been teaching piano for just under a decade.

Amy founded and ran successfully Forte Music School, later selling the school in order to care for her growing family. Forte Music School served over 200 students, taught various music disciplines by a talented staff.

Amy has donated thousands of hours of her time and talent to the Beaverton School District and, as a result of her work, knows just how to handle large event planning. She is passionate about the arts and arts education among children and has broad experience organizing and implementing various programs and fundraisers in Portland. She is highly organized and has energy to spare!

All that energy will be called upon as we launch our largest camp ever this year and yet, as we all know, she will be re-energized by Grace Art Camp itself and by all of us who bid her welcome!

Welcome, Amy, to Grace Art Camp!
