Four days. Endless creativity.

In this hands-on Day Art Camp, kids won't just be making art. They'll be learning how to think like artists. Through drawing, painting, watercolors, acrylics, fiber art, clay, papier-mâché sculpture, and storytelling through imaginative character drawing, students will sharpen their skills, explore new ideas, and bring their imagination to life.

Guided by Wyoming PTSB-certified Art Educator Pam Sipe, these camps go beyond arts and crafts. This is real arts education.

This summer, students will:

• Sketch from real life outdoors using plein-air drawing techniques

• Explore a variety of drawing techniques across different mediums

• Paint watercolor sea turtles using wet-on-wet techniques and salt effects

• Work with acrylics on mini and larger canvases, choosing their own subjects

• Build papier-mâché sculptures from start to finish

• Create clay and sand mixed media gargoyles

• Create coil pottery with lids using air-dry clay

• Design, glue, hand-sew, and stuff a felt fabric creation

• Explore color mixing, painting textures, and sketching on toned paper

• Build a zig-zag booklet filled with their own illustrated picture story

Both sessions come together for a gallery-style student art show on August 7, where campers will showcase everything they've created.

All materials provided. We bring the paints, canvas, brushes, clay, fabric, and creativity.

Please pack a ready-to-eat lunch, snacks, and a water bottle each day. Light snacks will be available, but students should come with a packed lunch that doesn't need heating. If packing a lunch isn't an option for your family, reach out to us and we'll make sure something healthy is available. Please list any allergies at signup.
