Teen Summer Art Camps - Ages 12-16

Our newest summer camps are designed for teens who are ready for a more advanced, hands-on art experience that encourages both creativity and skill development. Participants explore a variety of materials and techniques while gaining guidance from experienced teaching artists who support them through the full creative process. From initial ideas to finished pieces, teens are encouraged to experiment, refine their skills, and develop their own personal style. The studio environment is supportive and inspiring, allowing young artists to build confidence, craftsmanship, and independence as they tackle projects that challenge their abilities and expand their artistic vision. Each session is designed to nurture creativity while providing practical skills that help participants grow as thoughtful and capable artists.

These summer camps go beyond basic arts and crafts, offering opportunities to learn techniques and approaches that could lead to marketable creations. Teens engage with concepts and skills that emphasize both artistic expression and craftsmanship, providing a foundation for more serious creative pursuits. The sessions focus on developing critical thinking, problem solving, and technical skills while still keeping the experience fun and engaging. By experimenting with different materials, exploring new techniques, and receiving constructive guidance from professional instructors, participants leave with completed artworks that reflect both effort and creativity. These camps provide a unique environment where teens can challenge themselves, connect with like-minded peers, and enjoy a meaningful and enriching summer experience that cultivates artistic growth and creative independence.
