At our camp, exhilaration is the norm—because kids call the shots! Since 1980, we’ve let campers design their days, choosing exactly how they want to build, create, play, and explore. This freedom fuels confidence, creativity, and independence like nothing else. And parents? They love the freedom, too! Choose any number of days or snag a Summer Pass for unlimited fun, with flexible drop-off and pickup (8 a.m.–6 p.m.), tasty included meals, and automatic refunds for unused days. It’s the ultimate blend of convenience and adventure—where kids thrive and families win all summer long.

Our Mixed Media Art Camp offers a dynamic blend of creative exploration and skill-building through a wide range of art materials and techniques. Campers work with paint, drawing media, sculpture materials, printmaking tools, collage elements, and pastels, creating multiple original projects throughout the week. Projects are age-appropriate, thoughtfully guided, and designed to encourage independence, imagination, and confidence.

Join us for an exciting camp that will unlock your artistic potential and put your problem-solving skills to the test. Inspired by the hit TV show Nailed It!, we'll provide you with all the tools you need to create dazzling masterpieces. The rest is up to you!
