We are in the process of planning next year’s camp curriculum, but here are our dates below ready to write in your calendar!
Enrollment Notes:
Enrollment dates for Summer Camp 2015 will be announced soon!
The Art Camp's enrollment process is fantastic because it's all automated! When you register, you will automatically get a confirmation of the classes you choose for your child after you "submit" your application. This year, a valid credit or debit card will be required to complete registration.
2015-Session Dates:
Session 1: June 15th-July 10th
Session 2: July 13th-Aug 7th
Pre-Paid Ice Cream: All Proceeds go to Camp Del Corazon
This year, Art Camp will be offering an option again to prepay ice cream on the application to make it easier for parents and campers to get ice cream this year. All ice cream is sold for $2.00 dollars each and ALL of the proceeds go to Camp Del Corazon. Camp Del Corazon is a charity that sends kids with heart disease to camp on Catalina Island for one week. We hope you will support these efforts. Last year we raised enough money through ice cream sales to send 20 kids to camp! You can either send $2.00 cash with your child, or prepay for the session when you register online for camp (if you know that you want your child to receive ice cream daily). All of our popsicles are nut-free, and gum-free. There are even some that are dairy-free. This is completely optional!
Art Camp 101: We are offer 5 Art Camp 101 groups! The activities for Cheddar, Swiss, Bleu, & the Parmesan groups, will be specifically chosen for 5-6 1/2 year olds! If you have a child that is 6 1/2-7 years old, please check out our DaVinCheese group. Our DaVinCheese group is an amazing transitioning group for children 6 1/2-7 years old, that are taking fun & exciting Upper Camp classes that are pre-selected by the Senior Staff.
If you are interested in our Art Camp 101 program please sign up early as we will only allow 15 kids per group! Your child MUST be 5- 7 YEARS OLD (or entering Kindergarden/1st Grade) to enter this program. Art Camp 101 groups all have 1 Counselor and 2 CIT/JCITs to supervise your children at all times! If you have a 5-7 year old, they will LOVE Art Camp 101!
Teen Camp Program(*NEW*): The Art Camp's NEW "Teen Camp" program is our new addition of classes, for campers ages 11-14 year olds that still want to be a camper instead of being a JCIT/CIT! We will be offering full day classes that cater JUST to this specific age group, like art, drama, cooking, and more, giving them get a chance to explore and create with new classes tailored just for them!
JCITs (12-13 year olds) & CIT's (14-15 year olds)
JCIT & CIT job applications will be available on our website on Dec 31st, 2014 for our 2015 JCIT/CIT positions! Once the application is up you will be able to click on the link: https://summerartacademy.com/ArtCamp/jobs.html

Want to train to be a counselor and join our wonderful staff? Then this is the program for you! Our CIT and JCIT program is one of the many great programs that the Art Camp has to offer. With these programs, teens have the opportunity to become leaders and learn how to work with children of all ages. This program provides teens with an extremely fun and educational leadership opportunity unlike any other! JCIT's are able to take 2 personal workshops classes, throughout the session. CIT's spend most of their day in the camper's workshops assisting throughout the day. Both JCIT's & CIT's under the leadership of our Teen Director, Marie, and learn the skills necessary to become a camp counselor. All JCIT's & CIT's will receive first aid certification, leadership training that is offered weekly, conflict resolution, and will organize and implement special activities and events for our campers throughout the summer. Our whole Teen program creates an unbelievable bonding experience for everyone involved, friendships that last a lifetime, with an amazing opportunity to become a counselor!
