We are super excited to be in the planning stages of our 7th annual Summer Art Academy! Each summer we have 4 sessions of camp, each with their own focus and flair. Each session has a different teaching team of 2 local artists and 2 (or more) local teen helpers. Together they use their own strengths and interests to design a session that is really fun and unique. We value artistic freedom (no cookie cutter projects), and building artistic skill and confidence. Being local is such an asset because the kids are free to explore in a safe and nurturing environment (close to home with lots of friends!).

Every year we get parents requesting spots for their younger kids, and we know how much those kids love art! We always hated saying no, but we felt that the set up of the camp wouldn't serve them well. Last year we brought in a special teacher, Miss Alex, to be a young kids art guide. It worked out really well, so we plan to have that again this year. She takes a table of up to 4 younger kids and helps them by modifying the projects and the pace of the day to better honor their little artistic spirits. She has an abundance of experience with this age group, and the kids will have tons of fun with her. We will be offering this in the morning session only, so there are only 8 spots. Grab one while you can if you are interested!

Also, every year, we try to offer a teen camp, but we have never had that much interest. If you have a child over 12 who would like summer art instruction, we have several artists who can teach private or small group lessons. Please reach out to us and we can help put you in contact with them.
