About this Event
A Creative Summer Experience for Teens (14+)
The Forge is a four-day, studio-based summer experience designed for teens who want more than a traditional camp.
Each session invites students to explore identity, develop their voice, and build confidence through painting, mixed media, and process-based art in a calm, thoughtfully designed studio environment.
Led by a certified educator, The Forge blends guided creative instruction with space for personal exploration—creating an experience that is both structured and empowering.
No experience is needed. Just a willingness to create.
