Each week brings fresh inspiration, so whether you’re a returning artist or a first-timer, there’s always something new to explore. Sign up for one week or multiple themed sessions—your artistic journey awaits!
Session 1H: Clay & Sculpture (June 30 - July 3) Grades K-5 & 6-8
Spaces fill up quickly in our most popular camp week, so don’t miss your chance to join us to get your hands into clay for four days! Immerse yourself in the world of clay and other sculpting techniques. Learn essential hand-sculpting techniques including coil, slab, negative, and additive sculpture, to create 3-dimensional projects that will be glazed and fired. We'll also make individual and group sculptures from twigs, leaves, and other nature objects.
Clay pick-up date will be later in the summer at our studio in Raleigh Hills, or at HCCS in the fall. Exact date TBA (depends on the drying time and firing schedule). Families will be emailed when it's ready for pick up.

Is my camper ready?
If your child is headed to kindergarten this fall, has experienced preschool, is toileting independently, and able to follow directions safely, then they're likely ready for half-day camp (and possibly full day). K-8 grade campers who are used to going to full days of school usually enroll in full day camps, but are also welcome to attend any of the half-day camps if it fits your schedule best.
Our program requires that campers are able to follow directions, work collaboratively with others as well as independently at times. We mix up the day between focused, seated instruction and breaks with movement out in nature. We are not a sports camp or a daycare program. We want our campers to want to be at ART Camp, making art! If their behavior demonstrates they're not ready for our program in a way that takes away from their own experience or the positive experience of others, we'll let you know on Monday and assess the best resolution on a case by case basis.
