5-DAY CAMP FOR AGES 7-12

Ready for a week of avant-garde awesomeness? This kinetic camp will introduce young artists to American Modernist, Alexander Calder’s 1931 Cirque!

Our Summer Camps are designed to inspire 36 young artists each week! Led by ECFTA Arts Educators and 7 summer student staff, camp will take place in our cheery Art Classroom and sunny Sparrow’s Nest Maker Space.

Camps are a balance of guided-art instruction and open-flow exploration, along with outdoor fresh air play as always!

Come prepared for a great week!

  • A mid-morning snack and lunch
  • A nut-free afternoon snack will be offered to keep the energy going
  • Refillable water bottle
  • A spare set of clothes is encouraged for the week
  • Dress for the weather and for art-making!
