Summer Camps
Summer Camps at the VAC (Ages 6-12)
General Details:
Our Summer Camps provide kids and parents with a fun, worry-free option to stay creative all summer! Summer Camps run for 8 weeks (July 7 - August 29), Monday to Friday 9 AM to 4 PM, with the exception of Session #5 (Wonders of the World- Art History: August 5 to August 8) which is a 4-day week.
Camper sign-in is strictly from 8:45 AM - 9:00 AM and sign-out from 4:00 PM - 4:15 PM.
Each Session’s programming is inspired by that week’s theme, ensuring that campers who sign up for multiple weeks won’t be repeating art projects. All art materials are included in the camp fee.
Our team of amazing instructors are experienced, professional art practitioners with specialties in various backgrounds.
