Summer Art Camps
for Kids
Creative Kids Art Showcase
July 16th-August 1st
Reception & People's Choice Awards
on Sat., August 1st from 4-6pm
Our popular summer camps have wound down for 2026, but you can still come see what the campers have created!
The campers have each chosen one of their creations to display in our Creative Kids Art Showcase.
We are letting the public choose the best pieces in this showcase. Please stop by whenever The Creative is open to vote for your top two choices, and - but please be sure to let our young artists know why they were your favorites. This feedback will be shared with the artists when they come to show off their works to family & friends at our Reception. That evening, we will award un-ranked "People's Choice" ribbons, as well as certificates to all participants, after which the campers can take their pieces home.

The Summer Camps of 2024, 2025 & 2026
were a huge hit!
"My girls enjoyed the variety of art projects each day. They worked with your typical art supplies, but also got to be creative with items they found outdoors."
"Great week of trying new things and getting outside. Our daughter said her favorite thing was learning how to weave. I liked that they did clay and had time to play around/learn how to do each skill they learned."
"I love that there were project themes for each day, but Mrs. Bayless let them do the projects their own way. My 2 children never came home with identical pieces but she kept them on track enough to be sure they were creating something they're proud of every day! They came home every day thrilled to tell us all about their projects & activities."
"My girls love it! It's amazing they have so much fun & it's affordable."
"My daughter loved it, because they get to explore and use nature in their art. She had new experiences, and I loved that they were still physically active with hiking the park
"[All three of my kids] loved the hikes and the different mediums they got to create with. I liked that my kids thoroughly enjoyed each day and came home raving about how fun it was. I love that they spent time in nature and incorporated it into their art projects."
"My daughter comes home saying she had the best day every day! She loved the clay & weaving. She had a fantastic week at camp."
"My daughter came home excited each day. No "burn out" or complaints from her. New projects, outdoor fun, clean & safe environment, new kids to meet. Free time was any type of art she decided to do. She looked forward to class each day and even talked about attending next year. She loved the end of camp celebration, too."
