Summer Arts Camps

The Cultural Arts Office offers you and your children a variety of summer arts camp experiences including Creative Arts Camps and Club Pelican. Camp classes meet daily, Monday through Friday, from 9 am to 12 noon and 9 am to 3 pm. Some camps are one-week, others are two weeks. All camps are staffed by professional artists/educators, a camp aide, and many energetic and talented volunteers. These camps are offered to children ages seven to eleven years old. Camp brochures with full descriptions and registration forms are usually available at the Arts Office, Cole Library, and Dove Library by mid to late March.

Creative Arts Camps: These camps are designed to develop your child's imagination in a fun and engaging environment, by focusing on art, music, dance, or creative drama. Each two-week camp offers interactive, age-appropriate lessons; exposure to a wide range of media; and an experienced and friendly teaching staff who will help bring your child's creativity to life.

Club Pelican: Held at the Batiquitos Lagoon, Club Pelican brings together the worlds of nature and art. Young campers hike the trails of the Batiquitos Lagoon; explore animal habitats, lagoon birds, native plants, insects, and geology; and then create artworks inspired by what they observed in this beautiful natural setting. This fun-filled camp, led by both a naturalist and an artist, is held in partnership with the Batiquitos Lagoon Foundation.
