Art Camp Ideas

SUmmer Art Camps!

If you like to teach art, then summer time and winter break are great times to hold an art camp at your home, church, or community center. A well planned camp will usually focus on a subject theme (like animals, nature, or portraits) or a medium (like printmaking or pastels).

Below you will find ideas for art camps that might go 3-4 days for ages 10 and up. Younger students can still use these projects, but with more adult help. Using either the free projects here at Teach Art at Home or Masterpiece CDs will give you a great foundation since all of these projects have been classroom tested!
