Our Spring Lake Day Camp Arts program offers a wide variety of age-appropriate, technique-specific specialties such as Ceramics, Jewelry Making, Fibercrafts, Woodworking and Fine Arts, as well as Cooking, Drama, Music, Dance and so much more. Our program fosters self-esteem, respect for others and an appreciation of the arts. Our expansive art facilities include our mirrored dance studio, two separate kitchens for Cooking, our Ceramics studio complete with a kiln and pottery wheels, Trading Post pavilions, our beautiful amphitheater for shows, and our Jr. Camp Art Shop and Upper Camp Fine Arts outdoor studio.

For the younger campers, Art Shop, Trading Post, Krafty Kids and Bangles and Beads provide a foundation for our Junior Campers to experience different art materials and media, and explore their own creativity while learning about color, texture, shape and form. Using a wide range of materials such as paper, glues, paints, wood, clay and more, our campers are proud of their own individual finished products.

Our older campers in Boys’ Camp and Girls’ Camp look forward to Ceramics, Fine Arts, Trading Post and Woodworking which offer them a more advanced array of art experiences and tools using clay, recycled materials, tie dye, paper mache, paints, wood, collage, leather stamping, mosaics, and so much more. Our expert staff emphasizes the importance of introducing our campers to the materials, techniques, concepts and processes essential to understanding and appreciating the visual arts while continuing to develop their skills. This encourages them to become more comfortable with their creativity and their own individual styles.

In addition to all of our visual arts activities, our campers love to express themselves in Music, Drama and Dance. Every one of our campers (and our staff, as well), looks forward to trying out their culinary skills in Cooking (for older campers) and Kids in the Kitchen (Junior campers). The best part of this activity is getting to eat the creations that are made!

All of our Arts activities give our campers the opportunity to learn a wide variety of skills and explore an exciting variety of sensory experiences. And did we mention that all of these activities are just simply a lot of fun for all of our campers? YES they are!!!
