Summer Art Camp

It’s a summer full of creativity, self-expression, and hands-on art!

Program Highlights:

Get ready for one of the most exciting weeks of the summer! Cardboard Creations is a hands-on adventure in building, designing, and letting your imagination run wild. This week is all about turning simple materials into something truly amazing.

Students will explore how an ordinary cardboard box can transform into incredible sculptures, costume pieces, and more. Our main project will be creating a fun, animatronic-style dragon head that can be operated by hand—perfect for storytelling, imaginative play, and bringing creative ideas to life!

Along the way, artists will learn how cardboard can be used as a strong and flexible base for many types of art. We’ll experiment with painting, collage, and mixed media, discovering how this everyday material can become something extraordinary—even with limited resources.

To complete the experience, students will design and build their own creative backdrops for their dragon creations. At the end of the week, they’ll use their dragons and backgrounds to stage fun photo moments and storytelling scenes, capturing their work and celebrating their creativity.

Duration: 11 weeks of themed creative sessions
Tuition: $185 per artist per week | Sibling discount: $170 per week
End-of-Summer Celebration: Artist Exhibit
