Camps

Summer Registration Begins February 1, 2027

Our Visual Arts Camp is a full-day creative experience designed to spark curiosity, build confidence, and let young artists explore freely. Each day, campers will complete 4–5 projects across a variety of media—painting, mixed media, collage, drawing, and more—so no two days feel the same.

With small group sizes and plenty of one-on-one instruction, we meet each child where they are, encouraging both skill-building and imaginative expression in a supportive, welcoming environment.

Campers should bring a bag lunch each day, and we’ll take long, relaxed lunchtime walks along the beautiful Cayce Riverwalk—giving everyone a chance to recharge, connect, and enjoy the outdoors.

Instruction runs from 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM, with drop-off available as early as 8:30 AM and pickup as late as 5:30 PM for added flexibility.

Open to children in kindergarten and up.

Art camp is for older students, too—through age 17. Our professional teaching artists mentor emerging artists as they develop skills and prepare portfolios for college admission and scholarships. Art is a great equalizer, and instruction is thoughtfully differentiated for each student’s experience, maturity, ability, interests, and individual creative goals.
