register for Summer 2026

For Summer 2026, we are hosting 6 weekly camps: Fashion, Fairy Forest, Magic Castle, Sweet Treats, Surf & Turf, and Rainforest
Our summer camps are designed to go beyond single-day projects, giving students the opportunity to work on larger, multi-step creations throughout the week. We explore a variety of mediums including clay sculpture, mixed-media art, fiber arts, painting, drawing, printmaking, and building with upcycled and natural materials. This range allows children to expand their skills, discover new techniques, and experience the joy of creative problem-solving.
In addition to making art, camp days are filled with collaboration, storytelling, and playful exploration. Students gain confidence as they share ideas, experiment with new tools, and showcase their finished projects at the end of each session. Each week has its own rhythm, and every camp culminates in an art show where families can see the incredible creativity that unfolded.
I can’t wait to craft, create, and explore with your children this summer!
Camp hours: 9:30 AM - 2:00 PM
Ages: 6 to 12 (maximum of 13 campers per week)
Price: $450 per camper
