Summer Art Camp For Kids
This summer 2025, The Artsy Backyard is offering 6 - 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.
At The Artsy Backyard, our Summer Kids Art Camp offers the perfect opportunity for young artists to explore their creativity, build confidence, and make lasting memories. Designed for children ages 5–11, our summer art camp provides a variety of engaging and age-appropriate projects that spark imagination while developing essential artistic skills. From painting and drawing to sculpture and mixed media, each week of camp is thoughtfully curated around a unique theme, ensuring fresh inspiration and excitement every single session.
Our camp days are filled with hands-on instruction, guided art projects, and time for kids to freely express themselves. With small group sizes and a nurturing environment, each child gets the individual attention they need to thrive. Whether your child is a seasoned artist or simply loves to doodle, our program is inclusive and accessible to all skill levels. Campers leave with a sense of accomplishment and a portfolio of personal masterpieces they'll be proud to show off.
The Artsy Backyard isn’t just another summer camp—it’s a space where creativity blossoms, friendships form, and kids feel encouraged to be exactly who they are. Plus, with flexible scheduling options and private art camp opportunities available, we make it easy for families to plan a summer full of color, creativity, and fun!
Summer Kids Art Program
This summer, The Artsy Backyard will offer Pop-Up Art Days instead of a traditional full-length camp. These two-hour, project-focused sessions allow kids to explore different art mediums without committing to a multi-week schedule. Sessions may be offered at different times of the day, depending on the project and age group.
Pop-Up Art Day examples below!
Pop-Up Art Days will be announced gradually throughout the summer.
Dates and details will be shared closer to each session.
