Visual & Performing Arts Summer Camp

SUMMER CAMP

Summer Camp at Center for the Creative Arts continues its tradition of providing children an opportunity to discover their creativity in a nurturing environment that encourages self-expression. Under the guidance of professional teaching artists, campers explore a variety of mediums in the visual and performing arts while developing long lasting friendships and having fun.

Our Visual and Performing Arts Camps including drawing, painting, pottery, printmaking, theater and more. Our camps are designed for three grade levels, K-2, 3-5 and 6-9. Choose camps based on 2024-2025 grade level. All campers must be school-aged children (attends or has attended Kindergarten or higher grade).

We offer half and full day camps as well as before and after care. Each camp is 5 days and runs Monday through Friday. Families may choose any combination of half or full days to accommodate their summer schedules. Supervised lunchtime is offered for free for those staying for both morning and afternoon camps.
