Overview
In this exciting 5-day camp, students explore art and science! Each day, campers will explore a new art medium—sculpture, painting, printmaking, ceramics, and fiber art—while working on dynamic projects that connect creativity with career exploration. Students will have the chance to showcase, celebrate, and even sell their artwork during our Art Festival and collaborate on a large-scale public art project! Each day will include a flagship project, free-choice creation stations, and outdoor water play—blending arts literacy, local economics, and environmental stewardship into a summer experience filled with fun and discovery.

FAQs
Also, check out the policies and procedures page for helpful details.
Which week should I sign up for?
Camps are organized by age/grade level. For example, if you have a student who will be enrolled in kindergarten in the 2026/27 school year (fall of 2026), they can attend the weeks of June 8 OR June 15.
Can my student attend more than one week?
We offer two weeks for the same grade-levels to give families more scheduling options. Your student could attend both, however, the flagship projects will be the same, both weeks. For example, your kindergarten student could attend both the weeks of June 8 AND June 15; They would make two of everything but have flexibility during outdoor, station exploration.
When will I know if my application has been reviewed and approved?
We will send out email notifications every Friday to confirm your enrollment once registration opens on February 14th. 60% of the camp slots are first come first serve. We reserve 40% of our class space for scholarship recipients. Once capacity has been reached, we will update the website with a notice. You may still apply and you will be added to the waiting list.
