Following on from our popular term-time clubs, we’re introducing a BRAND NEW one-week Holiday Camp! For children aged 8-12, who have a love of creative adventure and learning through fun.

Welcome to A Week in the Life of an Art Student!

A week of creative fun, personal discovery, and personal development – Swap PlayStations and mobiles for Summer Camp!

Let children explore, enjoy and express themselves through creativity: they will develop visual vocabulary and emotional intelligence, feel empowered and have FUN!  From creating gigantic artwork to building experimental and immersive habitats, each day’s activities will engage and empower children to become the best, and most creative version of themselves. Full programme details will be available to download soon.   

Yes, they’ll be making amazing art, but the benefits of joining our camps are far broader and more wide-reaching:

Making art is fun! – research shows that making art for just 40 minutes can reduce stress levels in most people

Creativity – art teaches you to observe closely and notice things – this is the first step towards creativity

Learn new skills – Children are encouraged to discover their own creative talent in a fun and supportive environment.

Thinking outside the box – We will guide them in developing their visual problem-solving skills and look at new ways of using familiar materials to develop a sense of adventure and exploration

Cognitive learning – we take ideas from one theme and apply them to new themes hence deepening memory and retention capacity

Self expression – Art is an essential form of self-expression, and our holiday camp provides an opportunity for children to develop their artistic voice and build self-confidence. 

Cultural capital opens doors. We believe every child has the right to benefit from arts-rich experiences.
