Art Camp 2026 (Choose July 13–17 or July 20–24)
Del Ray Artisans invites young campers ages 8-12 years old to Art Camp to spend a week creating art with professional local artist instruction. Students will have an immersive creative journey, including painting, sculpting, journaling, and STEAM-tastic activities that celebrate science and art. During nice weather, kids will have outdoor time to get fresh air, unwind, and replenish their creative energy. All artist supplies are provided. Students must bring their own lunches. Thank you to MCD Mateos McDonald’s for their generous donation of cookie treats on the last day of each camp.
Choose Week One (July 13–17) or Week Two (July 20–24).
