CourseGraphic Summer Art Camp for Kids (ages 5–9)
Monday–Friday, 10 AM–3 PM
For 2026, we are debuting two new camp themes—Sock Hop and Around Town—as well as fresh projects in our classic camp themes. Each week, kids work on 2D and 3D art projects inspired by the weekly theme in art media that may include painting, drawing, sculpture, and mixed media. Campers will be divided into limited-size groups based on age. If you have a friend or sibling of close age attending camp, and would like to have them  grouped together, please request this during registration.


Color Explosion
Monday, August 17 – Friday, August 21, 10 AM–3 PM
This camp introduces kids to the bold pop-art movement and other ways in which vibrant colors can be used in artwork. Kids will create projects that play with the use of colors, such as vivid clay paintbrushes, op art drawings, and neon-colored collages.
