Creativity Camp | Ages 5-9
Each day, our Creativity Camps are packed with fun and challenging activities that balance learning and play. Campers may experiment with a variety of mediums such as graphite, paint, pastels, charcoal, watercolor, sculptural materials, and more. Although we provide a lot of traditional art instruction, we also encourage campers to take what they’ve learned and apply it to outside-the-box projects.
- Children are divided into the following groups: Ages 5-7 & Ages 8-9
- Drop-off Time | 8:45am – 9:00am
- Pick-up Time | 4:00pm – 4:15pm
Tuition: $170
Please note:
We do not make exceptions to the minimum age required to be in a given group.
Creativity Camp sessions do not use clay that is fired in a kiln and they do not throw on the pottery wheel.
WINTER BREAK : 2-DAY CREATIVITY CAMP

Get ready to kick off the New Year with our 2-day camp! Campers will create timeless memories as they prepare to welcome the New Year. They will:

- Construct a sparkling disco ball.
- Enjoy an exciting New Year’s Eve celebration on the last day of camp!
Clay Camp | Ages 9-12
Our Clay Camp curriculum is designed to teach pottery skills and to encourage the exploration of clay as a material for design, sculpture, and expression. Campers learn various hand-building techniques to create stunning sculptures, tiles, or functional items.
