These Art Camps are premium, theme-based programs, not just crafts.
Children work on original drawings and paintings rather than tracing or paint-by-number projects, and use their imagination in thoughtful, artsy projects. Over a short period of time, students develop and strengthen their artistic skills.
Instruction is provided by a professional art educator with 20+ years of experience in a studio environment, not a babysitting setting.
All deposits will be credited toward the balance of the fees due.
Parents will be charged a late fee if they arrive late.
Bring a snack and a bottle of water!
Art supplies are provided!
Teens are welcome! They can pick their own art projects to work on!
Most camps for younger kids include craft projects.
