Summer Art Camps

Summer 2023

Weeklong Camps start June 5 and continue through Aug 4

PLEASE NOTE: All four camps for the kindergarten-5th grade age group have sold out as of May 5, with the exception of a few afternoon-only (1-4 pm) sessions available for Art Out of This World Camp. To register for those afternoon sessions, email Annie Vanoteghem HERE.

Children and teens don’t stop needing creative outlets when school is out, which is why the AMA schedules weeklong art camps all throughout the summer.

Each camp has a theme and activities that are age-appropriate. We’ll also make sure they get some time outside to absorb much-needed Vitamin D! Campers can bring a brown bag lunch or you can purchase lunch with your registration. All campers participate in the pizza party on the final day of each camp.

Space is limited and many of these camps fill up early, so register your camper as soon as you know what your summer travel plans are. We have a terrific lineup of engaging art camps to choose from. AMA members, don’t forget you get membership discounts!

Thanks to generous donations to the AMA through the Libby Womack Paddle Raise at AMA Art Ball and other contributions, camp scholarships were available. All scholarships have been awarded.

Storytelling with Art & Theater will be a fun mix of building art skills through visual work and theater! Students will spend each day exploring storytelling through many different mediums. They will develop skills in drawing, painting, printmaking, and more each morning, and acting skills with fun theater games each afternoon!
On the day following this camp, Saturday, July 29th, campers will return one last time to perform a short skit at the AMA Storytelling Family day!

Please note that if you choose the Half-Day option, your camper will either only have the art portion (morning hours) or only have the theater portion (afternoon hours). Feel free to give us a call with any questions.

In Tim Gunn's words, learn how to "make it work" in the unconventional fashion design class! Through fun and challenging projects, students will become familiar with a variety of skills. They will explore pattern, form, and function through a series of projects, including fabric painting, weaving, dyeing, and block printing. The class will culminate in displaying each student's piece on Friday from 3-5 pm. Students will be required to provide some supplies.
