Program Structure

Daily classes lead campers through painting, papermaking, and ceramics, with small class sizes that allow for plenty of personal guidance. Artist-educators create a balance of focused skill-building and playful exploration, ensuring each day feels both structured and surprising. At the end of the summer, campers share their creations in a celebratory art show.

What’s Included

Tuition covers all program materials, from paints and clay to instruments and costumes, so campers can create freely without added costs. Three meals a day are served in the dining hall, alongside snacks, field trips, and evening campfires. Campers live in cozy cabins with new friends, cared for by attentive staff.

Session Lengths

Campers can enroll in either four- or eight-week sessions, depending on how immersive they’d like their summer to be. A four-week stay offers a vibrant introduction and plenty of time to grow, while eight weeks allow for deeper projects and stronger community bonds. Both options promise a full camp experience packed with creativity and adventure.

Camper Age Groups

Programs are designed for campers 9 to 16 years old, with age groups divided into grades third to sixth, sixth to eighth, and ninth to eleventh. This ensures that instruction, activities, and community are tailored to each developmental stage. Campers live in cabins grouped by age, creating a safe, close-knit environment where they can feel at home.
