Summer Art Camp for Tweens (ages 10–12)
Monday–Friday, 10 AM–3 PM
This offering is for young artists ready to graduate to the next level of Art Camp, where they will explore art media and techniques in greater depth during two daily studio sessions. Our talented teaching artists will guide tweens in developing their own personal style while they learn and refine their art skills.


New! The Art of Illustrative Storytelling and Jewelry
Monday, July 20 - Friday, July 24, 10 AM – 3 PM

New! The Art of Illustrative Storytelling: In this camp, a picture is worth far more than a thousand words! Campers will learn how to communicate a story, tone, and feeling in their art without any written text, using artistic techniques such as composition, limited color palettes, shape language, and color theory. This camp is perfect for tweens who want to bring their ideas and characters to life through their artwork. Using a diverse array of media, including pencils, colored pencils, inks, and colored inks, we will craft characters and narrative illustrations that jump off the page and speak for themselves.

Jewelry Design: Make wearable art! Campers will experiment with jewelry-making techniques to create pendants and bracelets of their own original designs. After starting with a sketch, the instructor will guide campers on using the best materials to create their vision. Projects may include, but are not limited to, wrapped wire pendants, polymer clay canes, and recycled paper beads.
