You Child Will Have a
Dazzling Summer at Art Camp!  
June 2 - August 8th

If your child is between the ages of 5 and 12, loves to color, doodle, or build at home, a process art camp program is something they will love!

Many art programs focus on cookie-cutter projects, where every child’s work looks the same, and they can’t even tell which is theirs without checking for a name.

Art Cart Kids is different!

Art Cart Kids is a process-based art studio where your child’s imagination leads the way. Each activity encourages your child to explore, experiment, and create something entirely their own. It’s never about perfect results—it’s about the joy of making and discovering.

Because at Art Cart Kids,

art should be as unique as the child who creates it!

Hi, I am Dazzle

Do you know a group of zebra can be called a dazzle?

Each 2-hour (half-day) or 4-hour (full-day) session, your child will participate in Dazzle’s Color Quest, a fun and playful journey through the art room, where your child gets to explore all kinds of exciting materials and discover how they love to create. As they move through the lessons they will earn certificates and different color collectable pins.

Dazzle's Color Quest is an on going program where your child will be introduced to eight inspiring art mediums: crayon & oil pastels, painted paper & collage, markers, painting, watercolor, printing, drawing & colored pencil, and cardboard & recyclables.​ Each level of the Color Quest program, from Kindergarten to 6th grade, is designed with different children's abilities in mind. This means that there can be a variety of ages and abilities in each session. This creates a community where older or more advanced artists can become role models and inspiration for younger or less advanced artists.

 

There’s a new theme every week, so even if your child comes to multiple sessions, there’s always something fresh to explore. And as they learn and grow, they'll be celebrated with collectible pins that they will earn for discovering new skills and trying new things.

Whether your child comes for a half-day or a full-day session, they’ll leave feeling confident, inspired, and proud of what they’ve created.

Every child moves at their own pace, gaining skills, confidence, and a love for art. 

My kids LOVED coming for summer camp! Mrs. Cox altered the schedule so my girls could make mermaid art. They really had a blast, and it meant a lot to me that she tailored her plans to us. It was so special. I really enjoyed chatting with Mrs. Cox and seeing her interact with the kids as they worked, too. She is so patient and willing to let them make their art their way. I struggle with that as a mom, so this was great for all of us!

Amy M., Summer Camp Parent

At the end of each color challenge, your child will be celebrated, receive a certificate and a new colored pin. By the time your child earns their first certificate, you’ll see an incredible transformation.

They’ll start making independent choices, confidently deciding for themselves instead of following what friends or siblings choose, a strong sense of pride in their accomplishments, excitement to create without fear of “messing up” and a collection of beautiful, unique artwork made with their own hands.

At Art Cart Kids, there’s no "right" way—only their way.

And that’s what makes their creativity shine!

My 9 year old started summer camp at Art Cart. She looked forward to the artwork and the warm welcome each day from Artist Steph Cox. Highly recommend!

You’ll love seeing the one-of-a-kind artwork your child creates straight from their imagination, beaming with pride as they tell you all about how they made it!

But that’s not all, 

  • There's the flexible & convenient schedule 

AM-10-12noon

PM- 1-3pm

Full Day 10-3 with a FREE 1 hour supervised lunch and outdoor play.

  • The easy ability to reschedule. If your child needs to miss a class due to illness, sports, or school events, just give 2 hours’ notice and reschedule with ease, no wasted classes, no extra fees. Simply call, text, or email!

  • We do all the clean up! Your child will dive into every medium they love, even those "too messing for home," without the cleanup stress. It’s the perfect environment for young artists who crave creative freedom!

  • The memory making experiences. Your child will love sharing their creative journey with new art friends, learning, laughing, and growing together.

  • There are easy ways to save money. Class Packs are a great option when your child wants to return again and again. The more sessions you pay for at a time, the more you save. Class pack options are:

5 half day (am or pm) sessions   $247

5 full day sessions + free lunch hour  $468

 

Making art should be simple, joyful, and stress-free, for both kids and parents. Let’s make it happen!

What a great summer camp my kids attended! Not only did they learn about art, they were read a story about the history behind their project. They had so much fun and learned so much. I highly recommend!
