Our widely popular summer program runs for nine weeks from June- September with a creative and exciting theme each week. We offer students the opportunity to try a variety of art projects in a fun, safe, and supportive environment.  Students enjoy four art classes per day: Drawing/Painting, Ceramics, Sculpture/Mixed Media, and activities, as well as a 20 minute snack time and 55 min lunch/recess time.

Children are grouped by age/grade in groups of no more than 15 students. They stay with their group all day for the full week. In addition to our professional and experienced teachers and office staff, each group is assisted by two counselors who attend classes, snack, lunch and recess.

Each Friday afternoon parents are invited to attend an art exhibit featuring work by all of our students. Children love to share the fantastic results of their hard work!
