Summer Camp starts June 2024!

Camp Community Arts offers creative arts experiences for students ages 5-18 years. Our Summer camps are held in a supportive environment that uses process-based learning to introduce children to new, arts-based skills. 

Our staff and professional teaching artists provide individualized instruction, feedback, and critique as students learn new techniques and expand their artistic repertoire. Students will learn about artists and techniques from around the world for inspiration as they produce their own process-based artworks. 

Center for Community Arts is excited to offer four unique camp experiences this summer. Learn more about each summer program below. 

Artist Studio | Ages 5-10

The Artist Studio offers half-day and full-day options for age groups 5-7 and 8-10. Students will experience visual arts themed mornings consisting of art practices like painting, drawing, printmaking, and sculpture. Full-day students will experience an afternoon of multidisciplinary arts which may include art forms such as music, theater, and digital arts. All two week camps will occur on a block schedule of one and a half hour increments. 

Teen Artist Studio | Ages 11-14

The Teen Artist Studio will bring expert arts knowledge and innovative ideas to your teen’s artistic growth. Students will explore their creative expression and skills while creating new work. Individualized instruction, feedback, and critique will be provided as students learn new techniques, expand their creative repertoire, and begin to define an individualized voice and style. 

Teen Arts Intensives | Ages 14-18

The Teen Arts Intensive program offers two distinct camps: Drawing & Painting and Ceramics. Designed for ages 14-18, these immersive experiences provide a dynamic fusion of creativity, skill development, and collaborative exploration.

Theater Camp | Ages 9-14

Theater Camp offers creative theater arts experiences for students ages 9-14. Students will go on a journey into the world of theatre, obtaining the foundational skills necessary for any actor’s tool belt while collectively working towards writing and performing short plays. In addition, students will develop critical theatrical skills such as acting, staging, set and costume design, and so much more. Over the course of two weeks, students will work towards putting together a performance of short plays for family and friends on stage at the Shadeland's Auditorium.

Afternoon Specialty Camps | Ages 8-14

Afternoon Specialty Camps offer more than traditional visual arts. Experience intensive programs delving into digital media, music, and beyond.
