Make the arts a part of your summer fun!
Current camp offerings
This WILL BE our BEST camp season YET!
We have an awesome summer coming up, filled with visual and performing arts camps. We will welcome campers ages 5 to 18, no matter their economic status with scholarships are available thanks to funding from the Kiwanis Club of Athens and Marian Biddle Trew Scholarship Fund. With a new, larger space we have room to spread out and have MORE fun!

This Camp ROCKED!
Kids Arts Camp 2023 explored rock-n-roll, with singing, dancing, visual arts projects, and more. This year, we welcomed 99 campers from grades K-6. We were proud to award $1620 in scholarships for Kids Arts Camps this year. We made sure that every student who wanted to rock-n-roll this summer was able to join in the fun!
We found Christopher Robin!
We welcomed 30 campers to Jr. Musical Theatre Camp where they picked up the basics of theatre while learning lines and staging for Disney’s Winnie the Pooh KIDS. With $1200 in scholarships awarded, everyone had smiles! Campers delighted us with the hilarious and heartwarming 30-minute show and yes, they DID rescue a certain snare-drum playing boy.
New Friendships and The Feather
Youth Theatre Camp welcomed 28 students ages 11 - 18. They worked hard during two weeks of acting, stage combat, music, and movement classes. Then premiered a new, original musical—The Feather—at the end of camp. We were proud to award over $2500 in scholarships for Youth Theatre Camp this year. Many of the staff at The Arts Center made life-long friends at theatre camp, so we want everyone to be able to experience this life-changing camp.
Getting messy is part of the FUN!
Visual Arts Mini Camp is a place for kids with a VISION! These young artists got hands on experience with a variety of media, taught by professional artists and educators. This year, 27 campers created creatures with clay, fabricated fabulous fabric, painted precious pictures, drew delightful drawings, and created crazy collages. Each camp finished with an exhibition of their work, where family and friends proudly viewed their young creative’s art.
