Our USF Youth Summer Art Programs…
are more than just artistic adventures – they’re dynamic learning experiences that seamlessly blend making, collaborating, and experimenting across a spectrum of mediums.
3D Exploration:
In our 3D Exploration sessions, campers engage with sculpture, ceramics, and papier-mâché. Through hands-on activities, they learn and create without realizing it, fostering a love for artistic expression. No prior experience is needed, and all supplies are provided.
2D Exploration:
Unleash the imagination in our 2D Exploration sessions, where campers dive into drawing, painting, and collage. This innovative studio arts program inspires self-expression, encourages creativity, and instills an excitement for learning, all while having a blast. No previous artistic skills are required, and all supplies are included.
This camp does not provide meals. Please pack your own lunches. Note: Campers who are attending both the a.m. and p.m. sessions may stay on campus through the lunch break. There will be staff supervision onsite.
