kids art camps

For the past 3 years, my kids’ (boy 6 yo, girl 8 yo) FAVORITE and most requested summer activity is Making Waves Summer camps. Katie and Amanda have done an incredible job designing a program that is fun, creative, AND educational! We can’t wait for this summer!!

Summer Camps: For kids ages 4-10 (+ sometimes tweens)

We offer drop-off style half-day camps Monday-Thursday throughout July and August. Every week has a different fun theme, like Under the Sea, Sweet Treats, Painting + Drawing, or Mixed Media. We explore a variety of techniques and artistic media, including drawing, painting, collage, clay, and more. During all of our camps, we use our creativity and the week’s theme to focus on idea development, creative choice making, self-expression, skill building, and making new friends.

Registration opens in January each year and sessions fill up fast! To enroll in an upcoming Summer Camp session, head to our Shop page.

School Break Camps: for kids ages 4-8

We offer drop-off style camps during Christmas Break, February Break and Spring Break. Each week has a different fun theme, like Winter Wonderland or Spring Things! 

We explore a variety of techniques and artistic media, including drawing, painting, collage, clay, and more.

Making Waves Art Studio is my girls’ favorite summer camp. The amount of art projects they create in 4 days is truly amazing and always holds their interest. They can’t wait to come back for more every year!
