Summer and Vacation Camps
Add creativity to your mix! Offer your community a camp program that teaches children art concepts, like sculpting and painting, but also challenges them to use these techniques to solve real-world problems. Give kids the chance to explore art as a career path, and build their confidence as they create one-of-a-kind projects based on their own understanding of the different class themes.

FAQ
What are your full-day and half-day camp hours?
Our full-day camps are 6 hours long. They typically run 9am - 3pm. Our half-day camps are 3 hours long and typically run from 9am - 12pm or 12pm to 3pm.
+Does you have a minimum or maximum enrollment requirement?
The minimum number of kids required to hold a camp is 10 and the maximum number of kids per camp is typically 20. (We have made adjustments for Summer 2020.) We usually give at least a week's notice if we have to cancel a camp.
+Who are the Imagine Arts Academy™ instructors?
Our instructors tend to be artists, college students pursuing an education or art degree, former/retired teachers, or teachers on summer break. All of our instructors have experience working with large groups of elementary-aged children and have undergone an extensive background check.
+What kind of space do I need to host a camp?
For the majority of the camp day, we need a large classroom with tables and chairs big enough for 20 kids to move around and do their experiments. This space does need to be indoors due to the St. Louis summer heat. Most camps require an outdoor space for doing some activities and breaks.
