How Art Camp Works
Morning Classes, Monday-Friday
When you register, you sign up for one daily morning class that you will focus on during the week. This class meets daily with the same instructor and group of students, providing the opportunity to learn and create a project/projects in depth in that subject.
Afternoon and Evening One-Time Workshops
Afternoon and evenings, there are optional two-hour, one-time workshops in each of the other disciplines that you can take or not take at your discretion. By the end of the week you will have created several of these projects.
Inclusive Pricing
Morning classes, workshops, meals and accommodations are all included in your camp fee.
Extra fees (e.g., materials fees and special activity fees) will be noted.
Muse Option
Some art campers bring friends, spouses or partners who want to enjoy camp without taking a morning art class. See the “Muse” rates in the registration section. Muses typically read books, relax, explore, work on their computers, write or ride bikes over extensive bike trails in the region. Three complimentary afternoon/evening workshops come with their registration.
Day Camper Option
If you live in the Quincy area, or are from out of town but prefer to stay in nearby lodging, you can still come to Art Camp! The fee includes all classes, afternoon and evening workshops and all meals for each day.
Teen Art Campers
Ages 13 to 17
Teens may enroll in adult art classes with a parent or guardian present in camp.
Other Activities
Swimming*, hiking, horseback riding (for a fee), river tubing, bike riding, archery, excursions into town, ping-pong and of course lots of ART are some of the extra activities that our campers do in their leisure time.
*Note that swimming may not be an option if the water in the creek is too high or the current is too strong.
