A rotating curriculum that builds skills and confidence
Each week’s curriculum is different; instructors teach techniques and set open-ended projects so young artists can explore, invent, and finish pieces they’re proud to show.
Half-day blocks with a full-day option
Camps run Monday–Thursday with morning (9:00–12:00) and afternoon (1:00–4:00) sessions; a full-day option spans 9:00–4:00 with a staffed one-hour lunch break and optional before- and after-care.
Thursday Gallery — a closing moment
Each Thursday the final 15 minutes are reserved for a gallery visit so parents can see the week’s work, giving campers a concise moment to present and celebrate what they made.
What the day feels like
What a week feels like
Four concentrated days of making: morning or afternoon sessions (or a full day) guide children through technique-focused lessons and open studio time. Projects shift from week to week, so returning campers encounter new media and challenges; the week culminates in a brief gallery viewing where work from the session is displayed for families.
