When you are happy with your projects we will have a couple of them printed for you to take home and display.

Why settle for just one way to express your creativity? If art is your passion, let your imagination soar as you explore a wide range of artistic techniques!

At Jr. Art Academy, we dive into all methods and mediums of art, giving you the freedom to create in any way you choose!

 

Jr. Minecraft™ - (CAMP 2302)

From computer science to creative expression, Minecraft™ Education Edition opens the door to endless opportunities to discover, build, design, and tell stories. Throughout the week, campers will spend most of their time learning and creating in the digital world, collaborating with teammates, solving challenges, exploring cities, travelling new Minecraft biomes, experimenting with basic coding, and competing in artistic build-offs. 

*While we include a few intentional screen-free activities to break up the day and keep things balanced— the bulk of the learning happens online.   

Jr. Mad Scientist - (CAMP 2102)

Campers, prepare for one messy week! Liquid, solid and gas, matter, motion and mass. This camp is all about scientists gone mad! So, throw on your lab coat and strap on your safety goggles!

We will be making crazy concoctions and discovering different reactions all week long!

Jr. Girls Ready, Set, Go Kart - (CAMP 2000)

Ready to get your hands dirty and love going fast, then you should join us this week for the coolest camp on wheels! If you like racing, have an interest in taking things apart and like to figure out why things don't work then this camp is for you! We will work on small engines, replace tires, fix brakes and make sure the steering is working properly. Then we'll decorate our karts before we build the track and take the Karts out for a spin! All karts will be prepped so they are ready for the last day of camp, which is RACE DAY! Friends and family are invited to come and support your race team.

*Please note, this camp exists to foster confidence in those who may not feel traditionally welcomed in a trades environment. We encourage those who identify as girls or non-binary to sign up!
