Overview
In this exciting 5-day camp, students explore the design process through a survey of local industries. Each day, campers will explore a new art medium—sculpture, painting, printmaking, ceramics, and fiber art—while working on dynamic projects that connect creativity with career exploration. Students will have the chance to showcase, celebrate, and even sell their artwork during our Art Festival and collaborate on a large-scale public art project! Each day will include a flagship project, free-choice creation stations, and outdoor water play—blending arts literacy, local economics, and environmental stewardship into a summer experience filled with fun and discovery.

FAQs
Also, check out the policies and procedures page for helpful details.
Which week should I sign up for?
Camps are organized by age/grade level. For example, if you have a student who will be enrolled in kindergarten in the 2025/26 school year (fall of 2025), they can attend June 9-13 OR June 16-20.
Can my student attend more than one week?
We offer two weeks for the same grade-levels to give families more scheduling options. Your student could attend both, however, the flagship projects will be the same, both weeks. For example, your kindergarten student could attend both June 9-13 and June 16-20; They would make two of everything but have flexibility during outdoor, station exploration.
When will I know if my application has been reviewed and approved?
We will be in touch as soon as possible to let you know! 60% of the camp slots are first come first serve.
