Our adventurous Summer Art Camp offers creative exploration with a wide range of materials for kids entering 1st grade through 7th grade. Camp is offered in weeklong and single-day blocks, with each block devoted to instruction in essential techniques and skills related to a major art media or discipline.

The first 90 minutes of each class will be devoted to the subject at hand, the last half of each day is dedicated artists choice time. Here students either continue with the days subject, explore personal interests, or synthesize new concepts with their own unique ideas, all resulting in true, authentic self-expression. A wide range of tools and materials is available, appropriate to the development of personal interests. In addition we provide an abundant resource museum and library to inspire ideas and expand upon each concept. Our artists can choose to work independently, or collaborate with others.
