Our 2025 Summer Camps are:

Harry Potter and Hogwarts School of Magic and Wizardry  June 23-27, 2025  8:30-12:30 $315

Leave the muggle world behind and enter Hogwarts. We will visit Diagon Alley to get our magic wands and other school essentials. We’ll play quidditch (after we are sorted into houses, of course!). We will create our favorite wizard cards, and learn to care for magical creatures. We will study all of the magical arts, such as divination, spells, and magic potions and end our camp with a banquet, complete with butter beer. Enroll in Hogwarts for a week of art, magic, and fun!

Art of Architecture  June 30 – July 4, 2025  8:30-3:30 $435 (includes fees for a field trip)

Want to learn to paint on canvases as big as houses or make sculptures as big as city blocks? That’s what architects do every day! This week it’s our turn. We’ll explore how and why architects design the works of art we live and work in, and then design, paint, and build our own. We will also visit either the National Building Museum or Frank Lloyd Wright’s Pope-Leighey House to deepen out knowledge of architecture.  Camp WILL be held on July 4.

Art of the Impressionists: Painting, Drawing and Sculpture  July 7-11, 2025 8:30-2:30 $435 (includes fees for a field trip)

We’ll be impressed by the likes of Monet, Renoir, Cassatt and Degas, and other greats of French Impressionism and their Post-Impressionist contemporaries like Van Gogh (with and without his ear). We’ll draw and paint in plein air, bring the ordinary to life, and learn how to capture movement in 2D and 3D. Join Ms. Tio as we travel “artistically” to France and soak in the beauty of French art and culture. We will visit the National Gallery of Art to be inspired by the great Impressionists.
