About the Camp
Does your child love to draw, paint, and create?
This Foundations Camp is designed to help young artists learn real art skills while having a ton of fun. Instead of just crafts, students build strong fundamentals in drawing, painting, observation, and creative thinking — the same core skills artists use for a lifetime.
Each day introduces new techniques, materials, and challenges so kids stay excited, engaged, and proud of what they make.
By the end of the week, campers go home with:
-
Multiple finished artworks
-
Stronger drawing & painting skills

More creative confidence
-
A sketchbook full of ideas
