ArtsCenter Camps

by The ArtsCenter
Ages 4–16

At the ArtsCenter, young creators enjoy inspiring experiences where imagination takes center stage. With a wide range of camps, classes, and after school programming options, kids can try their hand at a huge variety of art forms, from painting and printmaking to ceramics, fiber arts, drama, dance, and African drumming. Guided by professional teaching artists, each day brings hands-on projects and playful activities that spark curiosity and joy, giving children the freedom to experiment, explore, and grow as artists. Campers not only build technical skills and create their own masterpieces, but also develop confidence, teamwork, and problem-solving abilities along the way. Whether acting out a scene, shaping clay, or drumming in rhythm with new friends, every activity is designed to nurture self-expression and celebrate creativity. More than an art program, the ArtsCenter is a welcoming community where kids can discover their unique voices, learn from one another, and experience the joy of creating in a supportive and inclusive environment.
