Kidcreate Studio - Chicago Lakeview Arts and Crafts Summer Camps

As the weather heats up, so do those summer plans. Summer is an exciting time for kids with all the outdoor activity, family outings and extra time with friends. An summer camp is the perfect complimentary addition to this list of plans.

With so much fun and memory making all summer long, children will benefit from the self-expression and development of their creativity that is possible at an art summer camp with Kidcreate Studio - Chicago Lakeview.

With so many kids camps to choose from, why choose an art summer camp?

Unlike traditional educational programs, an art focused camp provides learning and skill development without a child feeling like the project is ‘work.’ Children become engaged and focused in a way that allows for some serious skill development.

Arts and craft camps are the perfect option for children in need of continued growth and development disguised as fun and play.

What Are the Benefits of an Art Camp for Kids?

Art education has the ability to teach children about the world around them and about themselves. In the art camps at Kidcreate Studio - Chicago Lakeview, children experience the magic of taking art supplies and - along with their imagination - turning them into a unique piece of art. Through this process kids learn that thinking creatively can result in the solution of problems and lead to the creation of something beautiful.

A child’s self-esteem and confidence are enhanced at camp by giving them the opportunity to see themselves excel at new activities. Moreover, an art focused camp teaches children about expressing themselves through a creative medium. This can reveal to a child the myriad of ways available to confidently communicate and share their inner world.

Camp creates a natural environment for kids to build bonds with their peers. In this safe environment, kids are able to build their social skills while interacting with peers from varying backgrounds. Together with their new friends, each child at camp will create beautiful arts and crafts and lifelong memories to cherish. Our summer camps provide the perfect environment for a child and their creativity to grow and thrive.

Additionally, our camps also foster the growth of friendships and the building blocks of socialization. Kidcreate Studio - Chicago Lakeview’s classes and camps are organized by age. This means your child will have the opportunity to engage with their peers creating with and learning from one-another.

When children are given the opportunity to use art in their play, they learn and develop multiple motor skills at once. The use of a paintbrush, pencil or scissors help a child to build the coordination and strength for the fine motor skills. Kidcreate Studio - Chicago Lakeview is a leader in art education with award-winning art-curriculums that make our summer camps the perfect option for parents in search of the most rewarding camp for their child.

The camps at Kidcreate Studio - Chicago Lakeview are built upon the following elements to ensure a successful and rewarding experience for each attendee:


  • Arts and craft immersive summer camps
  • Highly trained staff experienced in child care
  • Themed art lessons provided by an inviting yet structured program
  • Safe environment conducive to the development of creativity

Had my kid's birthday party here, it was wonderful! The process was very smooth and easy. The kids had a blast, the staff were wonderful, and we will definitely plan on coming back for some fun art classes. Highly recommended!

I needed this today! For $55 Eli got to spend 9AM-12PM doing various projects to celebrate New Year's Day 2024. There were two helpers Katy and Ms. Ciera (sp?) who helped Eli get acclimated as he was crying and asking me to stay. They let me sit with him for a bit to help him calm down. Projects included paper crown,...

Popped in for a weekday art class with my toddler and had a lovely time on a rainy day.

KidCreate Studio was the best birthday party decision we could have made for our toddler. They made it SO easy to schedule, have hundreds of art projects to choose from, and were fantastic dealing with 20+ four-year-olds. Thank you for an incredible birthday party!

My daughter runs into the studio. Teachers are great! Wonderful experience
— Megan Mergener, Posted March 13th 2023 on google
An absolute perfect place for a five-year-old birthday. It was so helpful to not have to worry about the details - Alison and team handled everything; all we did was show up with our child and food. The group had a blast - the teachers kept them super engaged. We plan to send him back for camp in the summer.

Great venue for our son’s 4th birthday, the kids made rockets and slime! The staff was friendly and helpful, Kierra (sp?) stood out. We’ll be back!

Kidcreate was a perfect spot for our first "birthday party with friends!" The staff was patient and engaging with a group of 8 toddlers. Even the parents enjoyed the experience! Would definitely recommend especially if you don't have the space to host at your condo.

We had my son's 4th birthday party at Kidcreate in Lakeview and the children had a blast! I'm so glad I picked the clay Mickey / Minnie Mouse project because the children LOVED working with a material they don't usually get experience with everyday at preschool. The parents all told me how much fun their children had a...

We had our 4 year old's birthday party at Kidcreate and it was wonderful!! All the kids (aged 4-11) loved it. The staff took care of everything. There is a small area for parents (so most parents dropped off), which was nice to have snacks and chat. The Gift Cups were also great! Wonderful party from start to finish.
— Payal Adhikari, Posted December 14th 2021 on google
Kidcreate was a great experience! My 7 year old loved having her birthday party there. It was also a nice, calm activity for everyone to do so it didn't get a bunch of kids crazy. Everyone had a wonderful time and the staff was super helpful and great at engaging the kids.
— Jennifer Riek, Posted November 21st 2021 on google
My daughter celebrated her 6th birthday here with her friends. We had around 18 kids all between ages 5-6. The kids had a great time painting and paying with slime. The staff was awesome and very accommodative. So glad we chose this place.
