Look what we made in  ART CAMP!

Art Camp is fun! Campers learn clay basics (e.g., hand building, slip casting, slab rolling and cut outs, bisque painting techniques) plus other age appropriate arts and crafts like fabric craft, painting, foam art, and more.

Camp tuition is just $170 per child for the full week (five half-days, 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.). Take a 10% discount off the second or more child from the same immediate family enrolled in the same camp, or for additional camps for the same child!

We are finalizing our curricula, but this sample is representative of what we will include:
