This camp will be held at the Basalt Library
Grades 3 + (2026/2027 school year)

Write and illustrate your own story—then launch it into an adventure! You’ll dream up a hero (you, or a character from your imagination), build a whole new world, and send your story off on an epic journey. Create a comedy, a mystery, or a magical quest—travel from fairy tales to knights in shining armor, from the ocean to the mountains, and everywhere in between. You’ll sketch characters, design settings, and bring your tale to life with words, drawings, and lots of imagination. By the end, you’ll have a storybook that’s completely yours—the story of your dreams!

Art Party at 11:45AM on Friday
Grades: Third +

Explore the beauty of the natural world. Dive into hands-on projects sparked by the colors, patterns, and textures of nature—from plants and animals to mountains, rivers, and skies. Throughout the week, you’ll experiment with fun techniques like painting, collage, printmaking, and mixed media as you create one-of-a-kind artworks such as botanical prints. Come ready to explore, get a little messy, and bring home a collection of nature-inspired masterpieces!

The instructor is bilingual. The class will be taught in English, with translation available if needed.

Grades: 9 – 12

Build a portfolio that’s ready for college applications, contests, grants, and artist residencies. Learn how to photograph and document artwork, organize digital files, curate a strong sequence, and strengthen your work through critique and revision. Explore digital and physical portfolio platforms, then draft an artist statement and artwork captions that connect your ideas and goals across media.

After-school classes are a fun and welcoming space where elementary students can explore their creativity and imagination. Students will experiment with drawing, painting, collage, and mixed media while learning basic art skills through hands-on projects and playful exploration. Emphasis is placed on creativity, curiosity, and self-expression rather than perfection, helping young artists build confidence and enjoy the process of making art. In a supportive and encouraging environment, students will make new friends, try new materials, and discover the joy of creating something uniquely their own.
