Deco Arts Summer Camps are for Ages 5-11. We also offer Teen Camps (see below).
A full week of printmaking, sculpture, and painting projects rooted in classical fine-arts techniques and joyful art-making. Returning campers will enjoy fresh project variations.
At Emma’s Art Studio we take a practice-based approach to art education, rooted in fine arts and centered around empowering young artists through hands-on exploration, skill-building, and creative confidence. Our teaching team brings years of experience in both classroom and studio settings, and we’ve designed this camp to be a joyful, inclusive space where kids feel inspired to experiment, express themselves, and grow as artists.
We work with paint, clay, papier-mâché, and more—this is a hands-on, messy, joyful camp full of creativity, movement, and play. Each camp day typically consists of a morning art lesson, lunch, recess at a local park (weather permitting), an afternoon art lesson, a snack break, and some free art exploration time.

“I think this camp really enabled exploration of painting at a new level, going back and adding details after some time to reflect. [My child] really loved doing the papier-mâché balloon animals. That was a new activity for her.”
