Unlock Your Child's Creativity: Summer 2026 Art Camp at the Canton Museum of Art!

A Week of Artistic Fun and Discovery for Ages 6-13. ENROLLING NOW!

Give your young artist a summer they'll never forget! The Canton Museum of Art’s Summer Art Camp is a unique opportunity for kids ages 6–13 to discover new skills, make friends, and explore their creativity in a fun, supportive environment.

• Expert Instruction: All sessions are taught by professional artists or licensed art educators with one-on-one individualized attention and small group instruction.

• Inspiring Creative Spaces: Most activities take place within the museum's studio classroom, galleries, and indoor courtyard. Weather permitting, teachers and students may also participate in messier art projects on the outdoor patio.

• Flexible Scheduling: Each week is a different artistic theme, so you can register for one week or three weeks.

Camp Dates and Art Experiences

All Camps are 5 Days Only. Weekly projects engage students in a variety of art disciplines including sculpture with repurposed materials, handbuilding with clay, drawing and painting, and playful experimentation with a blend of art and science-based processes and techniques to strengthen each student’s approach to artmaking. Art experiences are also strengthened by community artists who visit the studio throughout the week, and current exhibitions in CMA’s galleries: https://www.cantonart.org/exhibits/upcoming-exhibits.

Campers will enjoy a diverse range of activities, including:

• Expressive Portraits & Dreamscapes: Master the art of fun self-portrait drawing and go big with large-scale dreamscape paintings that bring your inner world to life.
• 3D Wonders & Clay: Get hands-on with clay pottery and fantastical creature design, or transform the ordinary into the extraordinary with found and recycled object sculptures.
• The Art Lab: Explore the intersection of art and science with "Jello" printmaking, resin pouring art, and experimental art + science combos like homemade slime and foaming colors.
• Instant Memories: Capture the magic of camp through the lens with instant photography projects.
