Morning and Afternoon Options!
Our Summer Arts Camp provides visual arts education opportunities that are fun, engaging, accessible and creative. Through hands-on art activities young artists gain confidence and knowledge while developing their imaginations and self-expression. We offer age-appropriate classes in; drawing, painting, sculpture, ceramics, photography, fibers, mixed-media, book-making, printmaking, theatre arts and glass for girls and boys ages 5-12 and teens ages 13-15.
Classes for Group A (5-7 year-olds) are AM or PM classes that meet for 2 ½ hours, with a short 15 minute break for snacks (snacks are provided by parents). 5-7 year olds can sign up for either one-day classes held on Mondays and Fridays, or a three-day class running Tuesday-Thursday. Group A campers can only register for one class per day.
Classes for Group B (7-9 year-olds), Group C (10-12 year-olds) are AM or PM classes that meet for 2 ½ hours, with a short 15 minute break for snacks (snacks are provided by parents). Class offerings for these groups are different in the morning and the afternoon so campers have the option of signing up for both sessions. Group B and C classes are either 1 week or 2 weeks in length.
Class options for Group D (teens ages 13-15) are classes that meet from 9:30 AM – 12:00 PM, with a short 15 minute break for snacks (snacks are provided by parents). Group D classes are either 1 week or 2 weeks in length.

Children must have reached the minimum age required at the time their camp class begins. No exceptions will be made and documentation of age may be required.

Camp Attire
Summer Arts Camp classes use high-quality arts materials for all projects. Some pigments and materials may stain, so please dress your children in appropriate clothing. The Art Center is not responsible for clothing that is damaged in art classes. Weather permitting, children play games outdoors during snack and lunch breaks. Please dress your children in appropriate clothing and footwear for outdoor play (tennis shoes are best).
Instructors and Class Content
Summer Arts Camp instructors are all college graduates who are either teaching artists or art educators. Camp assistants and interns are college students currently enrolled in studio art or art education courses. All classes have an assigned instructor and at least one assistant. Class objectives and project outlines are available upon request for all classes.
Completed Projects
Please pick-up children’s projects on time when indicated by camp instructors. You may call ahead to ensure that your child’s projects are ready for pick-up. We strongly recommend that you bring your child with you to help identify their project. Due to lack of storage space, the Art Center can not store Summer Arts Camp projects. All camp projects that are not picked-up will be recycled on Friday, September 10th at 5 PM. If you can not pick-up your child’s projects by this date, please make arrangements for someone else to get them.
