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. 

 

KJ Summer Camp Themes & Dates

KPopalooza 

July 6-17

Dive into two weeks of artmaking inspired by the animated adventure “Kpop Demon Hunters!” Campers will step into a world of color and action as they design their own K-pop-meets-fantasy creations influenced by anime, pop star style, magical characters, glowing creatures, and heroic teamwork. Projects may include character design, expressive painting, fun mixed-media creations, and wearable art - all designed to spark confidence and creativity in a playful, age-appropriate way. Campers will summon their masterpieces and share their K-pop-inspired artwork with family and friends at KJ’s end-of-camp art exhibition.

 

Color Explosion 

July 20-31 

Explore the world of color and create striking, eye-catching art! Through various projects, campers will learn about mixing colors, tints and shades, and be introduced to the bold pop-art movement and other ways in which vibrant colors can be used in artwork. By the end of the two weeks, campers will have a collection of bright, creative pieces to share with family and friends at KJ’s end of camp art exhibition. 

 

Fantasy Fairytales and Mystical Creatures 

August 3-14 

Step into a world of magic and imagination where fairytales and mythical creatures come to life through art! Campers will create whimsical masterpieces inspired by legendary stories, from fire-breathing dragons and shimmering mermaids to powerful wizards and mystical unicorns. Using a variety of mediums, campers will create their own fantasy worlds filled with castles, enchanted forests, and magical beings to be shared with family and friends at KJ’s end of camp art exhibition.
