Hear from happy art campers

Don't just take our word for it. Hear directly from our summer campers and their parents about their unforgettable Summer ArtsCamp experiences at The ArtsCenter.
"We were really impressed with our experience; our camper loved her week. She really liked her counselors, and they did a good job drawing her in to things, as she is usually very shy in new settings. She really really loved learning the dance moves."
"Our daughter faces a lot of social anxiety, but she felt very comfortable at camp... (her first time doing a camp without her sibling). She loves the counselors and was so happy to go to camp everyday. Well done!! It felt like such a big deal for her to have such a great experience given her past challenges with new social situations. We appreciate how the counselors created a welcoming and inclusive environment!"
"The Arts Center is the best. The best staff. The best teachers. We feel very lucky to have participated in a summer camp and hope to come back for more time next year. We were absolutely amazed by how much our daughter learned."
"My child really loves creating art, especially drawing -it is something she does every day and it seems like just a natural part of who she is. [She] says the ArtCenter is by far her favorite. I think because she's really learning something new, and also allowed to experiment and do some things her own way."

If you believe your child would benefit from an older level camp, please reach out to us to discuss this possibility.
