Benefits of Day Camps for Children

Learning Activities

Day camps that specialize in arts and crafts are the perfect summer activity. They keep children’s minds stimulated through interactive, creative play while teaching them along the way. Multiple studies have shown that creating art can improve academic performance in reading comprehension, problem-solving, and more. So even though it may seem like they are just playing with some clay, their minds are being creatively prepared for the school days to come.

Personal Development

Kids can explore their growing personalities by creating art. They can explore and discover things like:

  • What colors they prefer to use
  • What animals they like to make
  • What textures they enjoy feeling
  • What art styles are their favorite

Creative expression through arts and crafts at a pottery summer camp near you is the perfect way for a developing mind to blossom into something extraordinary.

Social Growth Opportunities

The camps at Kidcreate Studio - Alexandria offer a socially stimulating environment that allows children to try new things, get to know other kids their age and creatively practice social skills. Kids go home with lifelong friends, memories and, of course, uniquely magnificent art pieces.

Kidcreate Studio - Alexandria offers pottery summer camps near you in Alexandria.

The Joy of Clay and Pottery Camps


At a Kidcreate Studio - Alexandria pottery summer camp near you, we let kids get their hands a little dirty with clay. Working with clay offers many benefits for children, including improving their fine motor skills. Being able to manipulate the clay with their hands helps develop the muscles in their arms, wrists, and fingers. For our younger students, these same movements will help them get better at buttoning their pants, writing their name, and tying their shoes.

Creating art with clay also improves a child’s hand-eye coordination, which helps with physical activities and even penmanship in school.

Working with the medium of clay has a calming effect on almost anyone who uses it. If you survey a pottery class, you might notice how quiet it is. That is because the children are engaging with the clay, and their creative mind has taken over. Clay can entertain a child for hours, even those who would be considered high energy. Pottery can even feel therapeutic for a child; the teachers at Kidcreate Studio - Alexandria can help the children channel their feelings into clay and work through their big emotions.

Clay is easy for little fingers to handle and does not create a mess like runny paint or sticky glue. Children working with clay can quickly learn that if they make a mistake or are not happy with their project, they can easily squish their clay back into a ball and start over.

This practice teaches a valuable lesson about problem-solving and helps their self-esteem grow.

You can create almost anything with clay, and the leaders at Kidcreate Studio - Alexandria teach the kids they can do anything they can imagine. Working with clay empowers them to mold and shape whatever they want. At Kidcreate Studio - Alexandria we encourage children to fully express themselves through art, which creates a connection to themself and others.

My 5 year old daughter LOVED her morning at Kidcreate Art Studio in Alexandria. When I picked her up, she was over the moon about her creations and asking to come back every week. I'd say that's a winner. The art is nice too, which is a plus :) They worked with different media and forms - forming clay reliefs, painting...

We visited the studio for their first live class back after the shutdowns in Alexandria and felt super comfortable. The staff was very friendly and welcoming. They had each of the kids at their own table & supplies. My daughter talked about her unicorn project all night! We can't wait for the next class.
