Welcome to a summer of creativity at the Summer Art Academy! We begin our fourth summer of providing children with engaging and unique workshops in the arts.

This summer The Summer Art Academy will run three camps; Clay Camp, Art Camp and Cooking Camp. Each camp provides a dynamic, nurturing environment that encourages children to discover their unique, creative talents through a variety of hands-on workshops.

For families who choose our summer arts program, our mission is to provide their children with enrichment and experiences not available during the regular academic year within a framework that promotes self-expression, allows them to freely explore, discover and ultimately gain new skills and confidence that will encourage them to further explore the diversity of their world.

With a great staff, hard work, emphasis on service, attention to detail, and an understanding of what children enjoy, the Summer Art Academy's camp programs are a wonderful alternative to traditional summer camps and a unique place to spend the summer.

Summer Shakespeare Camp

Ages 8 to 14

Our most popular program “SUMMER SHAKESPEARE CAMP” has expanded! Why? Because we had so much fun previous years, but didn’t have a chance to cover theatre craft.

This year, we will be making our own costumes and sets, while, of course, learn how to speak and walk like Elizabethan aristocrats (or AristoKlutz).

Never too Early to Learn!

Do you think “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” is complicated and “Hamlet” too bloody? Wait until you see this year’s production… the Scottish Play… MacBeth!

It’s amazing to watch kids actually understand Shakespeare! And once they do, they are thirsty for more.

The first step is explaining the language and answer those “What in the world is he talking about?” questions. We explain the story and then work with the actual script, not some watered down American version.

This year we are expanding class hours and introducing more theatre craft to the class, including costuming and props. We are excited and can’t wait!
