Summer Art Camp For Kids

This summer, The Artsy Backyard is offering several weeks of summer art camp. You can register for as many weeks of summer classes as your child desires, as each week is different from the rest. Our children’s summer art programs give campers a great way to learn about different forms of art-making, while exploring various media and techniques. 

As your child forms their own creations during our kids' summer art camp, they will get exposure to painting, collage, sculpture, watercolors, acrylics, pastels and more! There are many benefits to gaining exposure to different art techniques. Through this exposure to such a wide span of techniques, children are able to discover art forms that suit their personalities, style preferences, and talents. Contact us to get started or for answers to questions about our summer art programs.
