Hidden Acres Art School
Hidden Acres Art School, located on a beautiful acreage outside of Omaha, offers a fun and challenging program designed to educate Girl Scouts in the Fine Arts. The scouts have the opportunity to create their own piece of pottery on the pottery wheel or they can choose to sculpt or paint a one of a kind keepsake. From making beautiful silk paintings to creating their own pieces of pottery, the results have thrilled both the Girl Scouts and their leaders! This is an outing that will be remembered forever!
In addition to the rewarding opportunity to produce an outstanding piece of artwork, Hidden Acres offers additional fun filled options for the troops. Have a hot dog roast and/or s’mores over an open fire, or have a ride on a trailer pulled behind a four wheeler through the forest.
