Weekly summer Art camps for creative children!

A calm, quiet, and creative summer- just right for your artist.

At Petite Summer Camps, children entering 1st through 6th grade spend their days in a peaceful fine art studio, learning real techniques while exploring their own ideas. Camp runs Monday through Thursday, 9:30 AM to 1:30 PM. Each day focuses on a different medium: painting, sculpture, printmaking, and collage, with daily drawing woven in.

Throughout the week, campers experiment with high quality materials, take inspiration from nature, books, and art history, and practice caring for tools and collaborating like true studio artists. On Thursday, families are invited to arrive 15 minutes early for our (Petite) Mini Art Show. It’s a warm, joyful way to celebrate the week’s work together.

Your child will head home with a beautiful collection of artwork and a deeper understanding of materials and techniques. Most importantly, they’ll grow confidence in their own artistic voice.

    In addition to daily focused materials and techniques, children will practice drawing each day, fostering self-expression and exploring their natural curiosity about the world. Exploratory art projects inspired by nature, books, and art history will encourage campers to develop their unique artistic voice, care for materials, and collaborate like true artists in a fine art studio!

  • We’ll wrap up each week with a Mini Art Show on Thursday afternoon. It's a joyful, super informal gathering where our young artists share the work they’ve created throughout camp. Families are invited to arrive around 10 minutes before dismissal to view the artwork and celebrate their child’s creativity with us!

  • Our summer camps are offered in two sessions to help families plan across the season, but registration is by the week.

    Summer Session I runs from late June through July.
    Summer Session II runs from August through early September.

    While some camp themes may repeat between sessions, art inspiration is endless. Each week is designed around fine art skills, materials, and thoughtful prompts that evolve as children grow. Returning artists build confidence with familiar materials, so the experience is always fresh.

    Children may revisit the same theme across multiple weeks or even years, approaching the work with greater intention and confidence, while discovering something new each time!

  • At the end of each week, your child will have a beautiful collection of artwork and a deeper understanding of art materials and techniques.

  • Please pack a nut-free snack and lunch, along with a reusable water bottle.

    Please dress in clothes you don’t mind getting messy!

  • Camp is $445 per week.
    There are no makeups or cancellations for missed days

  • Because art nurtures creativity, builds confidence, and will help your child see their world, and themself, in new ways. Plus, it’s just so much fun!
