2026 Summer Art Camp: Painting (Ages 11-16)

In Painting Camp, teens will create a small series of acrylic paintings inspired by fun reference photos while adding their own creative flair to each piece. Students will learn essential acrylic painting fundamentals, including color mixing, value, composition, and brushwork, to help build strong and successful paintings. Through guided instruction and creative exploration, campers will develop confidence with acrylic paint while completing several vibrant works of their own.
This five-day camp will be taught from Monday, July 6, through Friday, July 10, from 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. each day.
This camp is appropriate for kids ages 11-16. The cost of camp is $180.00 per child for the entire week. All skill levels are welcome and all materials are provided. Preregistration is required and space is limited.
*Each day will have a dedicated break time where kids may eat snacks and drink water. Kids must bring their own snacks and water bottles. Water cups will be available. A parent/guardian is required to sign their child in and out every day.
