Summer Arts Adventures for ages 5–7 is a joyful, all-day creative program where every week is a brand-new adventure. Each day is packed with fun, hands-on activities that invite young artists to imagine, experiment, and create in a supportive, welcoming environment.
Participants will paint, draw, build, stitch, sculpt, and explore art from around the world while getting their hands messy (in the best way!). With guidance from experienced teaching artists, kids build confidence, make new friends, and discover the joy of creative play. Days also include games, outdoor time, and special adventures, including field trips to nearby parks and museums.
In our fully-equipped art studios, young artists can experiment with clay, comics and cartoons, painting, photography, printmaking, bookmaking, sewing, sculpture, and more.
Fees: $495 per week.Weekly after care is available from 4:00 – 5:30 pm for $90 / week.
