    What do kids learn in arts and crafts camps?

    Children’s imaginations are exercised in crafts class, as they use everyday materials to create. While more traditional visual art materials like paint or clay are used, programs may also use  materials like shaving cream or Q-tips. Kids gain a new perspective on visual art and aesthetics.

    Arts and crafts camps often mix outings with in-class learning. Field trips to aquariums, museums, or even nature walks are common. Kids explore the world around them and apply what they learn to their art. Independent work is encouraged during camp, which allows children to problem-solve on their own. Of course, trained instructors assist campers when needed. Camp develops young children’s social, motor, and cognitive skills. 

    Children as young as 4 years old are welcome in the camps above. Prices for camp range from $100 to $350.

    About advanced arts and crafts camps

    At advanced arts and crafts camps, children learn fundamental visual art skills. As there is a mixture of 2D and 3D design, concepts such as structure, perspective, colour, and shape are taught during camp. This improves children’s aesthetic literacy and helps them easily switch between disciplines.

    Creative freedom is also important at advanced camps. Teachers encourage children to use the instructions and materials at their liberty. Children create art that represents their personality and artistic ability. Camps teach children to trust in free expression.  

    Why go to arts and crafts camp?

    Arts and crafts camp introduces children to artistic license. They unleash creativity. Some other benefits of arts and crafts camp are:

    • Develop professional skills. In all careers, problem-solving skills, communication skills, and critical thinking skills are critical. Children learn these skills (and more) in arts and crafts camp through the design and construction of crafts.
    • Mental health benefits are linked to art. For example, art therapy has emerged over the years as an important means of maintaining mental health. Kids use their hands to create art pieces in camps above, calming blood pressure and directing their focus outward.
    • Improved social skills. Camp is a collaborative setting, and arts and crafts activities are very social. Kids converse with fellow campers and aren’t even aware of their social growth in this atmosphere. They grow in confidence in the camp setting, as parents will attest.

    • An accessible hobby. Since arts and crafts use everyday materials to create beautiful 2D and 3D structures, children can take their talents back home. It’s a creative outlet. 
    • Environmentally friendly. Camp crafts are often made out of recycled materials, with kids reusing objects from around the house.
