Summer 2026 Art Camps & Classes
Our summer art programs offer a wide range of artmaking opportunities for students ages 4½–18, including art for preschoolers, fine art camps, teen camps, and classes. All camps maintain a student-to-instructor ratio of no more than 6:1. Some camps may include up to 12 students with two instructors, allowing for individualized guidance and support.
Summer Camps – Full Week
Our week-long art camps for kids and teens offer hands-on opportunities to explore a wide range of materials and techniques, including drawing, painting, wood sculpture, clay, mixed media, printmaking, and more, in a fun, relaxed, and social atmosphere.
Each week of camp follows a specific theme that guides the projects and activities. While themes are shared across Full Day Camp, Morning Camp, Afternoon Camp, and Teen Camp, projects vary by age and camp program so all students are engaged at their level.
This summer’s rotating themes include Curious Creatives, Visionary Viewpoints, Myth and Legend, and Natural Encounters. Each theme runs for multiple weeks, and families may choose a single theme or enroll in multiple weeks for a rich and well-rounded summer of art exploration.
Avoid Project Repetition
Each themed camp week follows a set curriculum, and projects remain the same for that theme. Morning Camp and Afternoon Camp within the same week also use the same projects. If a child is registered for multiple weeks with the same theme, or for both Morning Camp and Afternoon Camp in the same week, they will repeat projects, which is not recommended. Cancellation requests due to duplicate themed registrations will be handled according to our refund policy.
Summer Registration Opens at 10:00 AM on January 22!

“I like Marvegos because I can be myself, be free, have fun… and be creative. You don’t say draw a line here or draw a dot there. You let me make my own choices..”
