We are excited to announce we will be running daily Art Camp (Ages 7-15) starting June 24th - Aug 30th 2024 in our Hamilton, NJ studio! Since 2013 we have contributed to the well-being and creative potential of our community's youth through our summer camps. This summer, we will combine immersive art, the outdoors, yoga, and meditation to foster a fun, safe, and memorable time for each child. We feel our focused attention is vital in each child's life, therefore, our class sizes are kept limited - This helps keep us socially distanced as well. We aim to ensure a low teacher-student ratio, to provide an enriching, personalized experience for each child! We’ll be inspired by nature, art history, favorite colors, textures, and our own imaginations! 

​

There will be one section run for 7-10 year olds, and a separate section for 11-15 year olds, with age appropriate art projects every morning and afternoon. Including, but not limited to: Watercolors, Paper Mache, Acrylic Painting, Drawing, Color Pencils, Pastels, Mixed Media Collage, Clay Sculpture, and more!  We mix it up every day to keep it exciting for the kids! Our goal is to spark their sense of wonder, find friendship, and inspire creativity every day! If your child has something specific in mind, please tell us in the Camp Registration Form, and we will try our best to include the request! 

So if you are looking for a camp where your child will have individual attention and be able to work at his/her own pace, you've found it at The Heart of Art!

Please note that a specific request of focusing more on a certain type of media (Clay Sculpture, Painting, Drawing, Anime, Pastels, Watercolor, or Paper Mache) may be requested during registration and we will try our best to schedule it for their camp week.

​

- Our fun begins with incorporating simple yoga poses, stretching, and some breathing meditation into our morning routine. Starting the day with some light exercise keeps us focused and breath work keeps us calm :) 

- Daily art lessons are inspired by student interests, nature, or holidays.

- We keep class sizes small, to provide individualized attention to each of our children.

- We factor in extra time in between structured lessons, so children can work at their own pace. 

​

The schedule may vary slightly, to finish up a project, or more physical activity. For example, we may go outside for Morning Stretch & Yoga and stay longer than 9:30am if it's a beautiful day. If you have specific questions about our camp’s schedule, please email us at:
