Give your young artist a summer filled with creativity, discovery, and hands-on fun. Each themed week of Summer Art Camp offers a fresh experience. Campers will explore the galleries and gardens, experiment with new art materials, and bring their ideas to life in the studio. They’ll build confidence, make new friends, and share their masterpieces with family during a weekly open house celebration.
June 1 through 5: World Art Adventure
Travel the globe through art. Campers will explore how cultures around the world use color, pattern, and symbolism to tell their stories. Through drawing, painting, printmaking, mixed media, and sculpture, they’ll create artworks inspired by global traditions – celebrating creativity, heritage, and the beauty of our world.
June 8 through 12: Nature’s Secrets
The gardens become an outdoor studio as campers discover the hidden wonders of plants, textures, and natural forms. Young artists may use leaves and flowers to create botanical prints or sketch details of what they find outdoors, turning close observation into drawings, prints, and sculptures that reflect the wonders of nature.
June 15 through 19: The Great Animal Art Expedition
Animals take center stage as campers encounter wildlife from forests, deserts, rivers, and oceans through the lens of art. Through drawing, painting, sculpture, and mixed media, campers will create artworks inspired by animals across cultures and history – expressing their own imaginative interpretations along the way.
June 22 through 26: Art and Science Mash-Up
Curiosity leads the way as campers examine how creativity and curiosity work together.
Through the eye of an artist, they’ll uncover connections between the universe, the human body, and the principles of science. Using painting, sculpture, printmaking, and mixed media, campers will experiment, observe, and imagine as they create artworks inspired by everything from the tiniest human cell to the vast constellations above.
