Summer Camp
We currently run summer camps in Raleigh-Durham. Announcing 2026 dates in late November 2025! *$25 off for additional siblings*
Our summer camps emphasize:
inter-disciplinary connections (art + history, creative writing, ecology, movement, etc)
time outdoors
mentorship
and skill-building.
Meet our founding Teaching Artists!

On weekends, she loves going on hikes. alderkeene.com
Want to book your own “camp”?
Programs beyond our scheduled summer camps can be requested privately. This just means that we don't have particular dates, locations, or themes set - but would love for folks to contact us about booking a party, workshop, or camp for their own group and its needs/interests. Current theme offerings include: Folk Arts, Zine Making, Meditative Watercolor, Retro Vibes, and Floral Embroidery, and we are always building out more curriculum. We can accomodate groups of 4-6 in our downtown Raleigh studio; larger groups will need to host us at their location or coordinate another space for us.
