KJ Summer Camp

 

KJ’s Summer Camp offers artistic adventures and celebrations of creativity, friendship and fun.

Participants enjoy art making of all kinds in a safe, accessible environment with skilled faculty members. Our camps are designed to inspire young artists (ages 6-14) with fresh and exciting themes, encouraging them to unleash their creativity, build confidence, and make lifelong memories. 

This year, Kimball Jenkins is thrilled to present six weeks of Summer Camp. The six weeks will be divided into three 2-week sessions. Within these immersive art camps, campers will not only explore the world of art but also gain insights into the fundamental elements that shape them. 

Campers will have three classes daily with art instructors of the Kimball Jenkins faculty who will lead them in various creative techniques based on each session’s unique theme. Our team of trained counselors will provide support throughout the day and add to the individual attention each camper receives.

At the end of every themed two-week session, on Friday afternoon, our campers will proudly display their artistic achievements in our historic Mansion to showcase and share their creative journey with family and friends.
