2026 summer camp

This summer, in addition to our popular art and clay camps, we’re excited to offer a new Comic Book & Graphic Design camp for ages 7-12 and a Drawing and Jewelry Making camp for ages 12-16. We will also offer two week-long camps led by Boulder-based Scribble Art Workshop.

All of our camps are designed to give campers plenty of time and space to experiment, make art and have fun!

Check out our 2026 camp schedule below:

June 1-5   ages 5-11   9:00-3:00

Nature Art Camp Scribble Art Workshop, $600

Join Scribble at Open Window Studio for a camp that will focus on creating artwork inspired by and using materials found in nature. We’ll begin the week by creating nature mandala collages from collected materials that we’ll sort and paint. Our next project will also include exploring the outdoors as we experience plein air painting (painting landscapes outside). We’ll finish up the week by exploring nature prints. We’ll end the week with an art show!

June 1-5   ages 4-6   9:30-11:00 am

Creative Storytelling   $175

Let’s spend a magical week together sharing our favorite stories! We’ll read or tell a different story each morning. Then we will use our imagination to act them out, make animal masks, and paint pictures – all inspired by the stories we love.

June 8-12    ages 7-12   9:00 – 3:00

Art-chitecture – Young Architects Studio $550

Design. Build. Problem-solve.

Sketch, design, and build your own imaginative structure — a treehouse, castle, fairy house, tiny cabin, houseboat, or an invention no one has ever seen before.

Campers begin by sketching ideas and learning simple design planning. Teachers help them turn drawings into 3-D constructions using cardboard, wood pieces, natural materials, fabric, wire, and found objects. We demonstrate safe building techniques step-by-step: cutting, joining, reinforcing, and adding details.

Students work at their own level. Some carefully plan every detail; others discover ideas as they build. Teachers provide lots of individual help so even beginners can succeed.

As the week continues, campers add balconies, bridges, furniture, landscapes, and small characters. On Friday we combine the structures into a collaborative village and invite families for a tour and celebration.

Great for kids who:

  • like building, Legos, crafting, or engineering

  • enjoy hands-on projects

  • may not think of themselves as “artists”

  • want to make something they can really play with and display at home

Campers go home with their structure and design sketches.

June 15-19    ages 7-12   9:00-3:00

Stories in Paint and Clay  $550

Sculpt a story! Paint a poem! Spend a week combining the magic of storytelling with the joy of working in paint and clay. Each day we will share our favorite stories,  discover some new ones and make up our own. Working with clay, mixed media drawing and painting, campers will bring their stories or poems to life in their unique artistic creations.

Follow Your Muse   $550

(open to both rising 6th graders and rising 9th graders)

Spend a week surrounded by friends and fellow artists creating whatever your muse desires in paint, clay, and mixed media.  With the support of Page and Jill, as well as your fellow artist/campers, you will have the opportunity to explore a variety of materials and processes or dig deep into a single idea.

  • Paint & Draw: Whether you’re inspired by portraits, landscapes, or abstract expression, you’ll have the freedom to work in acrylic, watercolor, pastel, pencil, charcoal and ink. Focus on one or try them all!
  • Clay: Hand build or use our wheel to shape, mold, and design something that’s uniquely yours, whether it’s a figure, abstract form, or functional pottery. Learn a range of techniques to embellish and enhance your work.
  • Mixed Media: Combine different materials and textures to create sculptures, or collages. Experiment with paper, fabric, wire, and other materials.

June 29-July 3    ages 5-11   9:00-3:00

Mythical Adventures – Scribble Art Workshop  $600

This camp is perfect for artists with vivid imaginations who enjoy assuming the characteristics of specific roles and acting out imagined adventures with others. We’ll spend the beginning of the week developing a collaborative story, assuming roles and designing sculptural props and hand-crafted costumes. For the later part of the week, artists will be given a “mission” to complete and work together both inside and outside the studio to accomplish their task. The end of the week will include a performance for families to see this adventure come to life in real time.

Comic Art & Visual Storytelling $550

Calling all young storytellers and artists! In this week-long Comic Book/Graphic Novel Art Camp, kids will explore visual storytelling through a fun and dynamic mix of brainstorming sessions, collaborative storytelling games, and hands-on art lessons. Campers will experiment with drawing styles, characters, story panels and bubbles, while learning how to communicate ideas and emotions in unique ways. Working both independently and together, kids will share ideas, build on each other’s creativity, and discover that comics and graphic novels are not only fun to read, but something unique and exciting to make.

 

July  20-24    ages 7-12  9:00 – 3:00

All About Animals  $550

A week for animal lovers and hands-on makers.

We’ll explore animals through both art and making. Campers create drawings and paintings of animals and their habitats, then bring them to life using fiber arts — yarn, felt, wool, and fabric.

Students learn how different animal fibers (like wool and silk) become art materials and use them in fun, approachable projects: felting soft creatures, simple weaving, dyeing fibers, and creating textured artwork. We guide each step so beginners can succeed, while experienced artists can add their own ideas and details.

During the drawing and painting portion, we practice how to show fur, feathers, scales, and patterns using pencil, pastel, watercolor, and acrylic paint. Campers may work from photos, observation, or imagination and will create a series of artworks over the week.

This is an active studio week — campers move between drawing, painting, and building so everyone stays engaged and inspired.

No experience necessary. Teachers provide step-by-step help and individual support.

Great for kids who:

• love animals
• enjoy crafts and hands-on projects
• like texture and building
• prefer variety rather than one long project
• may feel unsure about drawing but like making things

Campers go home with:

• animal drawings and paintings
• a handmade felt or fiber creature
• woven or dyed fiber artwork
• sketchbook studies and experiments

Families are invited to our Friday art show and celebration.
