Day 1:


Activity #1 The Star-Catcher Tree: Universal Blacklight Project

In a burst of color and imagination, kids transform a black canvas into a vibrant neon universe. Electric pinks, radiant greens, luminous yellows, and striking blues blend into a cosmic scene pulsing with energy. Each paint splash represents a burst of creativity, depicting galaxies and starry skies. Once the canvas is filled, they overlay a striking silhouette of a tree with branches reaching upward, appearing to catch glowing stars. The contrast between the dark silhouette and vivid background enhances the magical world, inviting viewers to explore the beauty and limitless possibilities of creativity.


Activity #2 Custom Tic-Tac-Toe Boards: Children flatten a square piece of clay and use a ruler or popsicle stick to create a 3x3 grid. Next, they craft 10 small game pieces, such as 5 mini pumpkins and 5 mini ghosts for an autumn theme, or 5 frogs and 5 flies or anything by their choice.

Day 2:


Activity #1 Canvas totes

are another fantastic medium for personal expression. These versatile bags can be customized through fabric paints, stencils, or appliqué techniques, allowing individuals to showcase their style while promoting sustainability. Whether for grocery shopping, beach outings, or daily errands, a uniquely designed canvas tote can make a statement while being functional.


Activity #2 Embellishing a Treasure Box

Decoupage: Dive into the exciting world of decoupage by sticking vibrant paper, fabric, or images onto a box and sealing it with a glossy finish! This technique lets you create stunningly detailed designs and patterns that truly stand out.

Gemstones and Beads: Add a dazzling touch to your box by incorporating gemstones, beads, or sequins! These sparkling elements transform your creation into a shiny, eye-catching masterpiece. Glue them onto the surface or arrange them into playful patterns and designs for a spectacular effect.

Day 3:


Activity #1 Decorating plates

offers a unique opportunity to transform everyday dinnerware into stunning art pieces. Using food-safe paints or decoupage techniques, one can create beautiful designs that make mealtime more enjoyable. These decorative plates can be used for special occasions or displayed as part of home décor, adding a touch of individuality to your dining experience.


Activity#2 Monoprints The Pencil Crayon "Color-In"

This method reverses conventional art by having children print a dark background initially, resulting in clean white lines that they can color afterward.

The creative process:

  • Apply a thin, even layer of dark paint (such as black or navy blue) onto the plastic tray.

  • Children use a Q-tip to remove the paint, creating a detailed scene reminiscent of a coloring book (such as dragons, cityscapes, or mandalas).

  • Place white paper onto the tray and then peel it away. This results in a solid dark page bordered by sharp, unpainted white lines. Allow it to dry for 10–15 minutes.

  • Children use colored pencils, gel pens, or markers to fill in the white lines. The dark background enhances the colors, making them stand out like neon lights.

Day 4:


Activity#1 Glowing Bioluminescent Jellyfish Workshop

  • Theme: A deep-sea summer project emphasizing blending, gradients, and sharp contrast.

    Participants will engage in various artistic techniques to capture the essence of the underwater world, utilizing both traditional and digital mediums. The project will focus on the use of color theory to understand how different colors interact and blend seamlessly, creating a harmonious visual experience that reflects the tranquility of deep-sea ecosystems.

  • Materials: Black cardstock, painter's tape, neon pastels, black paint, white paint, a toothbrush/brush, and cardboard templates.


Activity #2 Geometric Tape-Resist Landscapes

Kids use painter's tape to create crisp, sharp, professional-looking lines that frame vibrant watercolor sunsets or mountains.

Then they apply low-tack painter's tape or masking tape to crisscross their paper, creating sharp mountain peaks or a grid of geometric shapes. They paint inside the taped-off sections using warm sunset colors (reds, oranges, yellows) or cool forest tones. Once the paint is dry, they carefully peel the tape away to reveal pristine, bright white borders.


Day 5:


Activity# Designing Custom Pillowcases

Designing custom pillowcases is a wonderful way to personalize your bedroom decor. This craft project can involve fabric paints, markers, or even iron-on transfers to create unique designs that reflect individual styles and interests.


Activity#2  Mini Landscapes on a magnetic canvas

  • Lavender Fields: A pink-purple gradient sky with fine-dotted flower stems.

  • Ocean Sunset: Warm sky tones contrasting with a deep blue sea and water reflections.

  • Sweet Treats: Colorful cupcakes, stacked pastel macarons, or cake slices.

My daughter attended the art camp this July, and she had an absolutely wonderful experience! She looked forward to going every day and came home excited to show us everything she had created. The camp was fun, creative, well organized, and provided such a warm and welcoming environment for the children. I highly recommend this art camp for children.
