Our Summer Art Camp & Pool Afternoons offers children a joyful, supportive space to explore creativity, build confidence, and have fun with friends. Mornings and early afternoon are dedicated to multi-media art-making. Projects are thoughtfully designed to meet children where they are developmentally, encouraging self-expression, curiosity, and connection, with plenty of mega fun along the way. Afternoons are spent cooling off together at the pool.

Our Team

Art camp is led by Becky Johnson, Art Therapist, with support from a stellar team of fun and talented people, including our beloved Janelle, as well as other familiar camp counselor faces from last year. We’re also excited to welcome a new preschool and younger-child specialist who is currently studying childhood development, bringing extra care and attention to our youngest campers. Multiple staff members are present throughout the day to ensure a safe, supportive, and engaging experience.

Summer Camp Refunds and Scholarships

We believe that financial hardships should not be a barrier to participation in our summer camp programs. That's why we offer (limited) partial scholarships to offer more opportunity to take part. If you're concerned about the cost, please reach out to inquire about scholarship opportunities.

Additionally, some participants may want to check with their employers or health insurance providers to see if the camp could be covered under a wellness stipend, as our camp is therapeutic in nature.

Refund Policy:

· Full refunds (less a $30 processing fee) are available if cancellation is made up to 3 weeks before the start of camp.

· If cancellation occurs less than 3 weeks before camp, a 50% refund will be provided.

· No refunds will be issued once camp has started.

We are committed to making this experience accessible, and we're here to support you. If you have any questions about refunds, scholarships, or financial assistance, please don’t hesitate to contact us.
