The Summer Arts Conservatory is designed for students ages 9-15 who are excited to explore the arts, develop their skills, and create alongside other young artists. Students outside of this age range may be considered on a case-by-case basis. Please contact us if you have questions about whether the program would be a good fit for your child.

We welcome students with a wide range of experience. Some campers come to us with years of training, while others are exploring a particular art form for the first time.Our instructors work to meet students where they are, helping newer students build a strong foundation while giving more experienced students opportunities to continue developing their skills.

Each morning, campers are grouped by age and rotate through classes in all five departments: Cinematic Arts, Dance, Music Vocal, Theatre, and Visual Arts.In the afternoon, students move into their chosen department for three Conservatory Intensives. This gives campers the chance to explore a variety of art forms in the morning while spending more focused time developing the area they are most excited about in the afternoon.
