This camp combines engineering, storytelling, visual arts, and performance into one unforgettable creative experience.
More Than Just Art Projects
Our camps are about much more than the finished creations students bring home.
When children spend a week immersed in hands-on artmaking, they build resilience as they work through challenges, strengthen their attention spans, develop fine motor skills, and learn to problem-solve independently. They practice collaborating with peers, sharing ideas, and taking creative risks in a supportive environment.
Most importantly, camp provides something that’s increasingly rare: uninterrupted time away from screens. Kids spend their days making, experimenting, imagining, and connecting with other young artists—the kind of analog summer experiences that childhood was made for.
Who Can Attend?
Our camps are designed for rising 3rd graders and up. However, if your rising 2nd grader is an experienced crafter with strong fine motor skills and the attention span to participate in longer projects, they are welcome to join us.
We can’t wait to create with your child this summer!
Don’t wait to register—once supply orders are finalized, registration will close.
