SUMMER ART CAMPS

5/6/2025

 
Picture
🎨 Creative Adventures Await at Lake Country Art Gallery's Summer Art Camps! ☀️
This summer, let your young artist dive into a joyful, hands-on exploration of art in an inspiring and supportive environment! Our three-day camps (offered once in July and again in August) are designed for curious, creative kids between the ages of 7-11, who love to make, explore, and express themselves through art.
Led by artist and art therapist Amy Van Dongen, and supported by a dynamic team including Steph Townsend  filmmaker and sociology student and Jethro McNeill childcare professional with BI expertise, our camps offer a warm, inclusive space where every child is welcomed just as they are.
Each day brings new opportunities to:
  • Experiment with recycled materials, collage, and painting
  • Draw inspiration from the Gallery’s current exhibition
  • Create freely with a focus on process over perfection
  • Enjoy relaxed breaks outdoors or a quiet moment in the local library
With small group sizes and an emphasis on one-on-one support, kids are encouraged to learn through play, express themselves authentically, and build confidence through creative discovery.
🖌️ Whether your child is a budding artist or just loves to explore, our camps promise an unforgettable week full of imagination, movement, and meaningful connection.
Spaces are limited—reserve a spot today and spark a summer of creativity!
