Art is an essential part of a child’s development.  It opens doors to exploration, discovery, and individual creativity.  The process of art reinforces self-confidence and helps children to build critical thinking skills through observation, reasoning, and problem-solving. Art provides endless opportunities for discussion and for expanding a child’s vocabulary and general knowledge.  Integrating fine arts across the curriculum allows children to make connections and improves their academic growth.

Our themed camps offer educative experiences to enhance student learning.  Through inquiry-based instructions, group discussions, and hands-on art activities, students will discover new ideas and techniques in a nurturing environment.  These creative expeditions will allow them to learn while having fun.  After all, children learn by doing!
