YOUTH CAMP
6th-12th Summer Camp
This summer we are excited to offer half-day medium intensive camps for 6th-12th grade students. The 6th-12th grade camps will have a designated medium ranging in Clay, Fibers, and Specialty Topics. All camps run from Monday-Friday.
Clay camp will meet 8am-12pm. Fibers camp will meet 1:00pm-5:00 pm. All Specialty Topics will be a FULL day of camp from 8am-5pm
Each week students will have the opportunity to dive deeply into a number of unique mediums including Fibers, Clay, Printmaking, and Large Scale Painting and Drawing. Students will have the ability to learn new techniques through several exercises and projects as well as gain insightful knowledge and skills from our experienced staff and resident artists.
12 fully-funded scholarships will be available for Summer Camp students across all ages. Each of the 12 scholarships covers the full enrollment fee for one week-long camp of your choosing. Only one scholarship will be awarded per child, but multiple scholarships may be awarded to a household with more than one child who wishes to attend. Scholarships are based on financial need and are awarded on a first-come, first-served basis. We are taking applications from January 1st to March 31st. Our current scholarship application can be found here.
High School students seeking financial support should consider our high school internship program! Find more information here.
