Day camps are available for kids Monday – Friday, June 11 – August 17, 2018.
At Kimball Art Center, educational classes and camps are taught by professional, practicing artists with teaching experience and a personal investment in art education and awareness.
All curriculum is carefully considered and vetted to inspire, educate, and foster an appreciation for art in all its forms. We believe arts education is vital to personal development, self-expression, and academic success.
Morning and afternoon camps can be combined for an all-day creative experience. Kimball Art Center staff will supervise students between sessions. Please note, lunch and snacks are not provided. Parents are invited to attend a weekly art show on the last day of each camp.
