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 - Chicago Lakeview 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 - Chicago Lakeview offers pottery summer camps near you in Chicago (Lakeview).

The Joy of Clay and Pottery Camps


At a Kidcreate Studio - Chicago Lakeview 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 - Chicago Lakeview 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 - Chicago Lakeview 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 - Chicago Lakeview we encourage children to fully express themselves through art, which creates a connection to themself and others.

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,...

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!

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.

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
