About the camp

Print Camp is for the print curious, art-focused, creative camper!

This unique, week-long immersive camp will introduce your child to the intriguing, versatile world of printmaking. Students will take a deep dive in learning a broad range of fun, foundational printmaking techniques in our community print studio. Campers will explore a dynamic week of drawing, carving, stamping, mono printing, silkscreen, paper-making and book making. Students will develop and explore their artistic voice and share meaningful ideas in a socialized group experience.

Our staff and professional teaching artists will bring their expert knowledge and innovative ideas to expanding your child’s artistic growth. They will provide individualized instruction, as students learn hands-on, tool-based techniques and expand their artistic skills. This full day camp is designed to challenge and encourage creative expression through visual arts. Students will experience a week they will never forget!

Our summer camps provide hands-on learning experiences that foster creativity, critical thinking, and collaboration. Engaging in artistic activities allows children to express themselves in unique ways, boosting their confidence and emotional intelligence. Our experienced instructors offer a supportive and engaging space where all children can discover their passions, build lifelong friendships, and develop a sense of belonging. Not to mention, our summer camps are fun!

Snacks will be provided every day, but children are expected to come with their own lunches and beverage (or water bottle) each day.
Break times will happen outside. Please be sure your child comes prepared for outdoor activities with sun protection each day.
