Crafty Summer Camp!
Ages by each camp week
Most camps will run from 9am-12pm (Monday-Friday), in our downtown Carlisle studio. We have a few camps that will run from 1-4pm.
Our camps are best suited for children who:
Enjoy calmer environments, doing art, and playing games. Children are permitted to move freely throughout the studio, but we are not set up for BIG body movements and rambunctious play.
Love crafting and playing games. In addition to our daily group project, we will have a lot of open-ended creative free time.
Our camps are designed to give children a lot of creative free-time and agency.
Each camp day we will have a guided group project (sometimes we will have more than one) and outside of that children will have access to many open ended arts and crafts supplies, games, puzzles, and legos.
Campers LOVE the creative free time.
“My 10 (almost 11 yo) had a blast at art camp. She really enjoyed the opportunity to be creative and spend lots of time doing what interested her most. The camp is very child-led, which is not something that you find in most camps.”

“This camp was my child’s favorite camp last summer!”

Register for camp!
Camp deposit and fee is non-refundable. Thanks for understanding!
To register for camps, we have two payment options.
You can pay in full at registration.
Or, you can enroll in 3 monthly payments of $50. Your first payment will be when you register, and the next two will be at monthly intervals based on that date.
Note: Your balance must be paid before your child attends camp, so as we get closer to the summer, pay in full will be the only option.
