Crafty Summer Camp!
For Children Going Into 1st Grade Through Going Into 6th Grade
Camp will run from 10am-2pm (Monday-Friday), in our downtown Carlisle studio.
Our camps are best suited for children who:
Enjoy calmer environments, doing art, and playing games. Children are permitted to move freely throughout the studio, but we are not set up for BIG body movements and rambunctious play.
Love crafting and playing games. In addition to our daily group project, we will have a lot of open-ended creative free time.
Our camps are designed to give children a lot of creative free-time and agency.
We will provide a structure and invite campers into creative activities, but as long as they are not being disruptive to the group or destructive to themselves, others or the studio, we will give them choice wherever possible.
Campers expressed time and again last summer how much they liked this element of our camps!
“My 10 (almost 11 yo) had a blast at art camp. She really enjoyed the opportunity to be creative and spend lots of time doing what interested her most. The camp is very child-led, which is not something that you find in most camps.”
-Camp parent
“This camp was my child’s favorite camp last summer!”
- Camp Parent
