Kid's Summer Art Camps
Daily Monday-Thursday 9:30-11:30am or 1:30-3:30pm | Instructor: Betsy & David | Location: Rancho Peñasquitos
Get ready for an artistic summer adventure! Each thematic camp offers hands-on mixed-media art exploration in a beautiful outdoor garden studio. Artists will discover new techniques and create amazing projects in small, supportive groups.
All camps are taught by credentialed teachers Betsy & David Goff. On Thursday of each weekly session, families are invited to attend a mini art show at pick-up to experience their child’s pride as they explain the steps in creating their masterpieces.
If a camp is full please add your child to the waitlist. If we have enough interest we may open an afternoon section.
K-Pop Demon Hunters
$175
Channel your inner idol in this exciting, colorful tribute to animated demon-hunting heroes! Artists will paint "Derpy the Cat," design bold graffiti logos, and create their own movie posters featuring a legendary hunter. It’s the perfect blend of pop culture, bold art projects, and favorite K-Pop songs!
Ages: 6 years 9 months - 13 years (age)
The Sweet Shoppe
$175
Indulge your creativity in the tastiest art camp ever! Young designers will build 3D clay donuts for their own designer boxes and paint whimsical, animal-filled ice cream trucks. It’s a sugary explosion of color as we make hand-painted paper into towering multi-scoop cones and delightful dessert art. Best of all, on the last day, every camper will make and enjoy their very own homemade ice cream!
