Get ready for a summer full of creativity and joyful expression at the Art Gallery of Burlington! Our weekly Summer Camps are back for children and youth, with a mix of independent and collaborative projects which encourage skillful and meaningful ways of thinking, seeing, and making contemporary art and craft. Programs offer unique art-making experiences and interactive tours of the gallery's exhibitions, led by our wonderful team of engaging artist-educators.
This year we are offering extended care – if you need to drop off your camper early or pick them up late, we’ve got you covered! Before-care will run from 8:00-8:45am and after-care from 4:00-5:00pm, at a cost of $10/day or $50/week ($40/week for 4-day weeks). Make sure you select this add-on when purchasing your ticket for camp.
Are you interested in building your portfolio? Whether you’re applying to art schools or wanting to collect your works in a professional, sophisticated way, this camp will give you the skills and techniques you’ll need to prepare for a future in the arts. Our skilled instructors will offer a blend of engaging creative projects and strategies for refining your presentation. We’ll teach you how to document your work no matter the medium, how to turn inspiration into finished pieces, and offer guidance as you put your best work forward. If you want to elevate your creative practice, this camp is for you!
Please note: If courses are purchased at member price, and membership is not active, you will be charged for the membership.
ART MATERIALS for children’s classes are included in the registration fee.
WHAT TO WEAR? Wear something that nobody would mind if it came home dirty or stained - spills and splatters can and do happen! Closed-toe shoes are mandatory.
WHAT TO BRING? Snacks and a lunch that are nut-free. We take three breaks in total - two snack breaks and one lunch. If your camper runs out of snacks, we'll have some on hand.
ALLERGY OR SPECIAL NEEDS? Remember to notify us on your registration form if your camper has an allergy, health concern or learning disability that could impact participation in the studio. We want to ensure the best possible experience for all, so please let us know if accommodations should be made.
