Summer is the perfect time for kids and teens to explore their creativity and have fun making art! GAC’s annual Summer Art Camps are designed especially for young artists, helping kids build creative confidence, learn new artistic skills, and make friends through hands-on, age-appropriate activities.
These week-long sessions are open to children ages 5–12 and teens, with both morning and afternoon options available. Each week features exciting themes and a variety of art techniques to keep young imaginations engaged. Our professional instructors are experienced in working with kids and teens in a supportive, encouraging environment, teaching painting, drawing, metals, blacksmithing, sewing, sculpture, pottery, cartooning, stained glass and more.
