Come join us for an action-packed celebration to kick off CPL's Summer Enrichment 2025 and sign up for what's sure to be a colossal summer of fun!
Today's the day we once again usher in a new year of Summer Enrichment at CPL, and this year's program is more ambitious than ever! In addition to the national theme, our summers at CPL will now be inspired by Camp Half-Blood from the
Percy Jackson series.
What does this mean for this summer? In addition to all of the awesome art activities we're hosting that tie in to the national "Color Our World" theme,
PARTICIPANTS OF ALL AGES will be sorted into the cabin of a god or goddess when they register and will be able to take part in summer programming inspired by mythology from around the world. As participants level up and gain prizes for their own achievements, their successes will also help out their respective cabins!
Excited yet? Want to learn more? Join us on June 24th to learn all the details involved with 2025 Summer Enrichment!
Starting at 2:00 pm in the Maker Space:
- Make a button featuring your cabin's symbol
- Paint beads for a necklace like Percy & his fellow Camp Half-Blood campers
- Decorate a feather for our collaborative art project!
From 2-4 pm face painters will be on-site to turn your face into a work of art! (Separate registration)
At 4 pm local artist Jenny Santa Maria will be conducting the Model Magic Moments: A Sensory Art Adventure workshop for our littlest patrons (ages 3 to 7). In this playful workshop, children will color Model Magic clay using Crayola markers, knead it to blend vibrant colors, and craft their very own snail and rose creations.
(Separate registration here)
NJ4S Middlesex and The Cranbury Public Library Foundation will also be available in the gallery to tell you about all the cool ways they're helping with Summer Enrichment!
