Give your child a creative, engaging summer experience at ArtSmart Camp. Designed for ages 5–12, this week-long program offers hands-on exploration in visual arts and performing arts, including drawing, painting, sculpting, and musical theater.

Campers will build confidence, develop new skills, and express their creativity in a supportive and fun environment led by experienced instructors. Throughout the week, students collaborate, create, and grow.  The week culminates in a special showcase where families are invited to see their work and celebrate their accomplishments.

ArtSmart is more than just a camp; it’s a place where young artists discover their voice, make new friends, and experience the joy of creativity. It is in Olde Town Conyers, and classes will be held at the CRCA Theater and The Sketching Pad.

Classes will be grouped according to age and class size will be limited to comply with COVID guidelines.  Classes will be filled in order of receipt of fully paid tuition, so register early! Classes are filled on a first-come, first-served basis.  Tuition includes instruction, all supplies and daily snacks.
