Testimonials
We love the New Art Center so much! Our kid has attended for four years now and we couldn’t be happier. The camp is so well structured and we appreciate that there are a lot of different activities throughout the day, including performance and movement. They come home enthusiastic and happy with a lot to say about their day! Special shoutout to Lunchtime Players, which is always a highlight for them. Can’t wait for the next vacation/summer camp!

My child had an amazing experience at NewArt Camp! The teachers and staff were incredibly welcoming, warm, and supportive. She was very nervous at first, but the welcoming adults, fun schedule, and great art projects made it all fantastic!

Students in the Kahlo group are hard at work as they construct the towers for their haunted houses.
We liked: The variety of activities and the structure of the program. The quality of the instructors and staff. The different themes each week to keep it interesting for campers who attend more than one week during the summer.
