Summer camps are often seen as a place for games and simple crafts. But in Portland, our summer camps offer much more than that. These programs focus on learning new skills, building creativity, and helping children grow in a fun and structured way.

For Summer 2026, enrollment is now open. Our program runs from June 15 to August 21, 2026. Families also get a 5% sibling discount on total tuition, which is helpful for parents enrolling more than one child.

Summer Camp Programs in Portland are designed for children who want to learn art, design, and creative skills while still enjoying their summer break.

A Summer Camp with Real Learning

Our programs are not just about keeping children busy. Every class is planned with clear lessons and step-by-step projects.

Teachers guide students through each activity, explain techniques, and give personal help when needed. This helps children understand what they are doing and improve over time.

Each class is taught by professional artists, and students get individual feedback so they can learn at their own pace.

Classes Offered Every Day

Children can choose from a wide range of classes. Each one is different and helps them explore new skills.

• Fine Art: Students learn drawing and painting. They work on color, shapes, and creative ideas.
• Clay: Kids make pottery and hand-built clay art. This helps them learn how to shape and design in 3D.
• Arts & Crafts / 3D Art: This includes sculpture, mixed media, and simple architecture projects.
• Yoga: Yoga helps children relax, focus, and stay active in a calm way.
• Stop Motion Animation: Students create their own animated videos using objects, photos, and iPads. They also learn simple editing.
• STEM Art: These projects mix art with science, math, and engineering ideas in a fun way.
• Calligraphy: Children learn beautiful handwriting using special pens like calligraphy and fountain pens.
• Studio Art: Students choose their own drawing, painting, or digital art project. Teachers guide them step by step. Digital art is available for ages 7 and above.

Small Class Sizes for Better Attention

Each class has a maximum of 15 students. This helps teachers give more attention to every child.

There is a teacher and a teaching assistant in each class. This makes sure students get help whenever they need it.

A Balanced Way of Learning

These summer camps are special because they mix learning with creativity. Children are not just doing random activities.

They follow a proper plan that helps them build real skills. They also get the freedom to be creative and express their ideas.

Why our Summer Camp Stands Out

These summer camp programs in Portland are more than just fun activities. They help children:

• Learn real art and design skills
• Try different creative subjects
• Work on structured projects
• Get personal attention from teachers
• Build confidence through practice
