It’s that time of year again! Summer Art Camps for kids ages 5 and up (and summer workshops for teenagers) are a great opportunity for budding artists to try something new, or explore their favorite medium in-depth.

Art camps start up the week of June 17 and continue throughout the summer. You can read more about children’s classes and camps, including parent testimonials, in this post. And this YouTube playlist includes some work from past camps, including claymation videos made by campers and a short feature on 2012’s art camp:

Kids 5–12

Camps take place weekly, in five-day sessions, starting the week of June 17 and ending the week of August 19.

In Basic Art Camp, each day brings a new project, and each week is different. Our specialty camps focus on immersing the children in one medium. Camps come in whole and half-day sessions over a five-day week, and you can create your own all-day camp by combining a basic camp with a specialty camp.
