Kids Camps (6-11)
Gage offers full-day (9:30am-3:30pm) camps for your child in a wide range of art making. Kids will spend half the day in the art studio learning skills and creating their very own masterpieces and the other half of the day getting their wiggles out in movement class. We offer Kid camps in a variety of mediums ranging from drawing, watercolor, acrylic paint, and clay... to name a few!
Each day kids will get fresh air across the street at Triangle Park playground for lunch.
Friday Art Showcase:
Each week on the last day of camp, there will be an art showcase and performance at 3:00pm for family and friends.
Before & After Care - Creative Care:
We offer Creative Care Monday – Friday, from 8:00am-9:30am, and Monday – Thursday, from 3:30pm-5:00pm (no after care on Fridays). Registration is available with camp enrollment or on a drop-in day-to-day basis. A full week of Creative Care costs $120 or $30 for a drop-in.
Teen Camps (12-18)
Teens (12-18) can explore their creativity and hone their skills in a variety of mediums and styles: oil painting, drawing, watercolor, comics, acrylics, digital storytelling, and surrealism to name a few! This summer we are offering nine full-day 1-week camps, as well as three multi-week Teen Intensives focused Drawing, Painting, and Portfolio building. During these full-day (9:30am-3:30pm) camps, teens can dive into art styles they are already passionate about or explore a new medium or style of art they are curious about, all while learning from professional working artists.
We also offer four 1-week online camps focused on digital storytelling and character design. All levels are welcome.
Friday Art Showcase:
Each week on the last day of camp, there will be an art showcase at 3:15pm for family and friends.
