artScamp for kiddos


Know any kiddo s’campers who really love to make art and have the desire and focus to spend time on projects? This camp is for them! Using mostly sustainable, recycled and natural materials, S’campers will have the opportunity to explore new tinkering tools and methods. Projects will be based on the process not product philosophy, with each s’camper focusing on their own creative goals, experiments and vision within the boundary of the materials and tools provided.
 
Age range is 8-12 years old, but most importantly, artScamp kids are able to create in community with joy and focus, are self-regulated*, and...their parents are comfortable with them using tools and techniques that require some care and safety.
 
*Self-regulated in that your child is able to be safe/responsible with real tools, respectful of off-limits spaces/items, listen to and follow limits and expectations, etc. Unfortunately, at this time, we don't have the ability to give a kiddo extra help in those areas and still stay true to the artScamp mission.


Is your child apprehensive about camp?


Kids can be overwhelmed by camps with dozens of kiddos and many transitions throughout the day. The noise, different activities and number of "new" spaces can be too much for some kiddos.

ArtScamp is small (never more than 10 kids), and is child-led. S'campers can take breaks and eat when they need to. We love the process of creating and we do it in a supportive and brave space. Art is all we do so there are no big transitions.

We work together as one group and foster a supportive and inclusive atmosphere for all s'campers. There are spaces where s'campers can go when they need to reset or take a moment for themselves.

>>> artScamp is located in Mar Vista, in Los Angeles, CA 90066.
