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 - Newport News.
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?
Explore Their Creative Side
Art education has the ability to teach children about the world around them and about themselves. In the art camps at Kidcreate Studio - Newport News, 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.
Build Confidence and Self-Expression
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.
Build Friendships
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 - Newport News’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.
Fine Motor Skills
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 - Newport News 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 - Newport News 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
Kidcreate Studio - Newport News 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.
Don't Wait Any Longer!
Many summer camps are overnight events. At Kidcreate Studio - Newport News, our camps all occur during the day. The benefit of this is that children can return home for valuable family time, but with the joyful and invigorated attitude of children that have had a fulfilling and fun day.
Each child will leave camp enthusiastic about sharing their art and craft creations with everyone at home. The personal pride in their work will be testament enough to the power and value in art and art education.
Register online today and give your child the opportunity to experience the magic and wonder possible at an art summer camp!
