Summer Camp Benefits
Some of the known benefits of camp include the following:
Self-Esteem and Confidence Building
Exposure to new experiences and challenges can develop a child’s self-esteem and confidence by giving them the opportunity to see themselves as they excel at new activities, overcome fears and succeed in new roles.Socialization. Teamwork. Friendship.
As kids navigate their way through the activities at camp they will naturally find themselves building bonds with their peers. Many camp activities focus on teamwork. In this safe environment kids are able to build their social skills while interacting with peers from varying backgrounds.Independence and Resilience
The time at camp away from mom and dad - even if just for a few hours - allows a child to depend on their inner voice and to begin to build a sense of identity. Exposure to the many new activities and people at camp will naturally foster growth. This growth will include an awareness of one’s strengths and weaknesses. This greater understanding of self will contribute to more self-reliance for the child. As the child becomes more practiced in trusting his or her self, and as the child faces challenges, their resilience in difficult situations will be enhanced.Screen-Free Play
An important aspect to a healthy life in our modern world is moderated screen time. While at camp, the screen-free play will not only be filled with fun moments that allow a child to live and learn in the present, but also promote healthy living habits. Being active, being in the moment, and positive social interactions are all crucial aspects of a healthy life and they are all present at camp during each screen-free activity.In addition to these valuable benefits, summer camps near you like those offered at Kidcreate Studio - South Charlotte have some additional advantages.
Benefits
Of Art Summer Camp
Our camp activities are specifically designed to engage each child’s imagination and creativity. The crafts at our camps will present children with the opportunity to develop their fine motor skills, express themselves through art, and the chance to create something entirely unique. In fact, arts and crafts have the ability to benefit children in many ways. Some of these benefits include quantifiable knowledge like pattern and shape recognition. Other benefits are more difficult to measure but are also invaluable.
Self-Expression
Art is self-expression. This is why art can be such a useful tool for childhood. Children are developing the necessary skills to communicate with others. Any activity that can expand their ability and understanding of self-expression, and that gives them more tools for expression will be invaluable.
Fine Motor Skills
When children are given the opportunity to use art in their play they learn and develop multiple motor skills at once. For example, drawing is uniquely useful in the improvement of fine motor skills. The specialized movements of the hand, wrist and fingers are put to the test every time your child picks up a crayon or pencil. The same muscles developed in these movements will later help a child learning to dress themselves, tie their shoes or write their name.
Develops Creativity
In our art camps children are both given the freedom to create artwork their own way as well as see the artwork created by others. This exposure to seeing something done in a multitude of ways can build a child’s awareness that there is not one correct way to do everything. And thinking creatively can solve problems or lead to the creation of something beautiful.
Each of these benefits are always a part of Kidcreate Studio - South Charlotte camps and classes, and your child will profit from attending our events throughout the year. Our award-winning curriculum is tailored to the needs of each age group. This means your child will learn at an appropriate pace while interacting with children of similar ages.
Kidcreate Studio - South Charlotte Camps
Creative Learning
The best part about creative learning is that it offers children a break from the rigorous setting of the classroom. While the kids explore the wonderful world of art, they’ll be having so much fun they won’t even realize they’re learning.
Fun Projects!
Kidcreate Studio has plenty of fun art projects for kids to get messy and creative! We have a variety of mediums we use and teach children so they’ll experience everything that art has to offer. At the end of the day, the kids can take their projects home to hang up on the fridge.
Fun For All Ages!
All of our camps are specially tailored to meet the needs of the different age groups we serve at Kidcreate. Our camps are available to Kidartists (3-5 years), Kidcreators (5-9 years) and Kidmasters (9-14 years). Kids have a chance to learn and play with children their own age and create long-lasting friendships.
No More Boredom!
Tired of hearing the famous phrase "I'm bored"? At Kidcreate art camps, there is never any boredom. Our classes are fast paced, fun, and engaging.
Programs By Age Group
Kidcreate Studio’s curriculum is designed to meet the unique developmental needs of each age group. Our energetic toddler classes keep little ones moving and engaged, preschool classes nurture independence and confidence, and school-age classes spark imagination and creativity.

Great experience hosting a birthday party here! Kids had a blast doing an art project, getting faces painted, and playing with slime.
