Join Us for a Series of Art Adventures!

Each week at camp features a variety of creative projects inspired by that week’s theme. We’ve brought back some of our most popular themes from years past along with new themes that are destined to become classics —each week with all-new projects! Our activities are designed to engage a wide range of ages and interests, with a focus on open-ended exploration that lets our campers' creativity run wild. We also make the most of the beautiful outdoor spaces at Westmoreland Hills Park (Little House location) and Western Grove Park (studio and pop-up locations). Each week wraps up with a Friday afternoon art show—a Red Panda tradition!

Camp Details:

  • Little House: The ideal art camp for artists ages 6 to 11 who love a mix of creativity and adventure—time outdoors, hands-on art making, and everything in between.

  • Studio: Our most art-focused option, perfect for artist ages 6 to 12 who are serious about their craft, but still enjoy open-ended stations and outdoor exploration (maybe with a side of friendship bracelet making at the park!).

  • Pop-Up: The perfect full-day summer camp for our youngest artists, ages 3.5 to 6, filled with sensory play, creative exploration, and plenty of indoor and outdoor fun!

Camp projects involve a variety of materials and techniques.

We take full advantage of the space inside the Little House, the pop-up, and the studio— and outside at the Westmoreland Hills Park (Little House Location) or the Western Grove Park (Studio and Pop-Up Locations)!
