NOTE: REGISTRATION AND WAITLISTS ARE FULL FOR SUMMER 2023, THANK YOU :)
Get ready for a summer break filled with color and creativity!
Our popular Teaching Artist programs have become week-long Art Camps with the goal of connecting kids with their natural creativity for a great day-camp experience.
Talented teaching artists and classroom staff members will introduce campers to a variety of different art mediums through open ended exploration and project work. Artists will vary week to week but mediums include creative movement, cyanotype photography, textile work, and more!
