Kids at Art Summer 2022

Kids at Art Summer Camp

June 13-September 2

This year we’re offering 3-hour morning art workshops at Kids at Art as well as a full day option with morning art followed by afternoon sports camp with our friends at Kids in Sports just down the block. Children may attend any combination of individual days or full weeks from June 13th through September 2nd.  Kids at Art workshops are for mixed ages (4.5+ yrs) and each child gets individual attention to focus on age appropriate projects. We will focus on some special projects as well such as mask-making, puppet-making, clay building & and papier mache. Our groups are small and we have plenty of instructors on hand. Children who attend more than one day or week will always be given new projects to do — no repeats!  For our full day option, children will be picked up for lunch at noon and spend the afternoon at Kids In Sports, a multi-sport program that exposes kids to all of the most popular team sports in the region, including basketball, baseball, soccer, football, volleyball, hockey, and lacrosse. This temperature-controlled and professionally cleaned center teaches fitness and sports fundamentals using cooperative games, drills, and exercises to create happy and well-rounded athletes. This fun and fast-paced camp will also include aspects of music and yoga to take our unique and diverse programming to the next level. This program is sure to have your child active and smiling all summer long!

Summer Programs are week-long classes (Mon-Fri) for students entering grades 3-5, 6-8, or 9-12 in Fall 2022. For Summer 2022, we are offering programs both in-person at the Center for Architecture and online.
