With two studios, campers will engage in messy activities in our front studio and clean creation in our large back studio.
Imagination, creativity and excitement!
We know children thrive in small groups. Day camps run in groups of 12 with a 1:6 ratio staff to camper ratio. We have two groups each day - a total of 24 campers in 2000 sq. feet. It allows us to offer a very hands-on experience.
All our camps are half day - 3 hours of pure art. We offer a very immersive experience with a wide range of materials.

We do not offer separate painting, pottery, or other Fine Art classes. All our classes are 100% Kid-created and focus on ‘Storytelling Art’. Participants work with a theme and though they start with the same materials and general guidelines, we encourage independent thought and facilitate total creative freedom. Students will explore a variety of mediums from painting, to Papier-mâché, clay, building, yarn, beads and mixed-media construction.
Process Art is focuses on the journey, not the end result. We offer creative experiences that do not need to end with a set outcome.
Children are given the opportunity to experiment, get messy and try new things through a variety of mediums, including, but not limited to paint, clay, play dough, beads, beans, rice, noodles, yarn, foam, paper, glue, markers, crayons, recycled creation, and unique building opportunities.
Process Art helps develop creativity, imagination, fine motor skills, and confidence.
Yes! Mini Designers is a class for artists 2+ (or earlier if parents think they’re ready). Little people work with many of the same materials our older artists do. A mixed-media exploration of art, creativity, and imagination. Parents are there to support, but the class is designed to give toddlers free creative expression. A hands-off approach gives children a chance to develop their own creative voice.
