Roseville Area Schools Community Education

Discover the joy of painting—no experience required! Instructor Jay Rupp loves working with people who’ve never picked up a brush, can’t draw a stick figure, or don’t consider themselves “artistic.” In fact, the more reluctant you are, the more fun you’ll have and the more amazed you’ll be by what you create! Using the signature wet-on-wet oil painting technique made famous by Bob Ross, you’ll paint a serene “Majestic Mountain” landscape step-by-step. All materials - including paints, brushes, and a 16x20” canvas - are provided. Your masterpiece will be ready to take home, frame, and display the same day (though it will take about four weeks to fully dry). Frames will also be available for purchase during class. Whether you’re a total beginner or a seasoned painter, come experience the magic of painting happy little trees! Registration for all class sessions closes 3 days before the start date. Late Registration: If you miss the deadline but are still interested, you can contact the Community Ed office by emailing us at CommunityEd@isd623.org or calling: 651-604-3770.

Refund Policy If you need to cancel your registration, in order to receive a refund, you must notify Roseville Area Schools Community Education at least one (1) week prior to start date of the class/event/camp/activity, and that I will be issued a refund minus a $5 service charge. Registrations are not refunded in the event of a weather cancellation.

Camp Pythagoras is where middle schoolers team up to play with big ideas. It is a summer experience that engages inquisitive students entering grades 6 through 8 who love patterns, puzzles, and the thrill of discovery. Campers join a vibrant community of young mathematicians who explore deep mathematical ideas through collaboration, conversation, and creative problem solving. This isn’t traditional math class—there are no lectures, worksheets, or rote procedures. Instead, campers dive into rich problems, uncover surprising connections, and develop their own ideas in an atmosphere of intellectual play and joyful exploration. At Camp Pythagoras, every person is a mathematician. Each day, we’ll tackle a new problem: Bulgarian Solitaire, Sona, Nim, a Mars Mission, and a list of numbers.
