Art Camp

Art Camp is an enjoyable summer program for La Porte area kids to experience a hands-on visual arts program. Participants will participate in a variety of artistic activities in the picturesque setting of Cummings Lodge, which is located within Soldiers Memorial Park on the shores of Stone Lake.

During Art Camp, students will be experimenting daily by painting in the style of a famous artist, working on a group project, or taking a short hike to find the perfect landscape view to sketch. Instructors teach creativity, experimentation, and artistic exploration, each day will bring a new topic to inspire the artist within. Students will learn techniques such as drawing, painting, paper mache, printmaking, and much more! The afternoon classes will have more challenging opportunities designed for slightly older students. Fine art mediums are used to explore styles, techniques, and incorporate formal elements of making creative art.

Art Camp is scheduled for two sessions:

Session One: June 10-20
