Hands-On Art & Theatre Camps for Kids & Teens!
At Inspired Minds Art Center, every child is a natural-born creator. Our hands-on Art, Theatre, Dance, and Culinary Science Camps, along with Teen Intensives, inspire creativity, build confidence, and spark imagination. Each week, campers explore painting, sculpture, ceramics, potter's wheel, digital art, theatre performance, and other types of hands-on making, bringing their ideas to life through creative exploration. With guidance from welcoming instructors, they develop skills, express themselves freely, and create unique pieces that reflect their individuality.
Inspired Minds summer camps are designed for creative, curious kids and teens who enjoy making, imagining, and trying new things. These camps are a great fit for:
-
Kids who love art, theatre, building, drawing, storytelling, and hands-on projects
-
Creative thinkers who may not be drawn to traditional sports camps
-
First-time campers who benefit from a welcoming, supportive environment
-
Kids and teens of all experience levels—no prior art or theatre training required
Our camps focus on process, skill-building, and creative problem-solving, giving students the confidence to express themselves, collaborate with others, and take creative risks in a positive setting.
The Best Camps for Creative Kids
At Inspired Minds Art Center, creativity isn’t just encouraged, it’s the foundation of everything we do! With expert guidance and a focus on creativity, problem-solving, and self-expression, every camp is designed for kids who love to explore, imagine, and create.
What will my child do at camp? Campers dive into hands-on projects and activities each day, exploring diverse techniques and mediums. From building clay sculptures by hand or on the potter's wheel to painting vibrant murals, crafting stained glass, or performing on stage, kids will enjoy an immersive journey into the arts. Our carefully curated projects highlight skill-building, creative problem-solving, and the joy of artistic discovery. We believe in emphasizing process over product, so your child can focus on growth, confidence, and having a great time in a welcoming space.
