Weekly Themes
Printmaking A to Z

Space Travel
Experience outer space through art! Every project created will give you insight into our planet’s space in its galaxy and beyond.
Make Your Own Zine!
Explore the fast-paced world making zines. You’ll learn how to craft your own stories, create illustrations, and explore the many different tools that zine-makers use to create their tales.
Myth and Fantasy
Learn how to create three dimensional creatures using paper, plaster, lasers, and more! Your imagination is the limit in this class that explores bringing fantasy to life.
Build a Book
Did you know that you can actually make your own book? You’ll even make your own paper! Whether you’re an up-and-coming writer or artist, you’ll finish the week with several books all made by you!
Nature Printing
Printing directly from objects we find in nature gives us a unique view into the secret life of plants and even animals. By the end of the week, you will have created many unique works of art, all directly from nature…no drawing required!
Urban Art
Houston is the city of murals! This week we’ll explore and create art that happens in the community from mural painting to paste-up. This is a dynamic and exciting way to find a whole new canvas.

What is the cancellation policy? We appreciate that plans can change, especially in the summer. See below for a detailed explanation of our cancellation policy.

Do I need to supply my child’s lunch? Yes! We are not able to provide lunches. Each child will be responsible for bringing their own lunch. We are sorry, but at the time we cannot provide a refrigerator. We encourage the use of ice packs and insulated lunch bags.

My child has a physical disability. Are you able to accommodate them? Campers will need to be able to manage their own clothing and toileting as we cannot provide support for personal self-care. We are not able to provide one-to-one support for your child. Some physical accommodations may be possible for participation in arts activities. Please contact us to discuss whether our camp can accommodate your child’s adaptive needs given the highly physical nature of our planned activities.
