Summer Arts Adventures (Ages 8-12)

CAW Teaching Artists

Young People Summer Program: All Levels

Summer Arts Adventures for ages 8–12 is an engaging, all-day creative program where each week offers new projects and creative explorations. Days are filled with hands-on activities that encourage imagination, experimentation, and skill-building in a supportive, welcoming environment.

Participants paint, draw, build, stitch, sculpt, and explore art from around the world while working with a wide range of materials and techniques. With guidance from experienced teaching artists, kids build confidence, develop creative skills, and connect with peers through collaborative and individual projects. Days also include games, outdoor time, and special adventures, including field trips to nearby parks and museums.

In our fully-equipped art studios, young artists can experiment with clay, comics and cartoons, painting, photography, printmaking, bookmaking, sewing, sculpture, and more.

Fees: $495 per week.
Weekly after care is available from 4:00 – 5:30pm for $90 / week.

Please review our FAMILY HANDBOOK for more information about registration, arrival & dismissal times, what to bring (& what NOT to bring), health and safety info, and our school climate policy.
