Camp Options - Summer 2026
Check out our line-up for Creativity Camp 2026 below!
Class 1 is for younger campers and will typically offer a different project each day (think ages 5-7).
Class 2 is for slightly older campers and will typically offer projects that build off each other from one day to the next (think ages 8-10).
Class 3 is for our most advanced campers and, like Class 2, will typically offer projects that build off each other from one day to the next, but at a more advanced level (think ages 11 and up).
We don’t limit the classes just to the ages suggested, however, we do recommend that campers don’t move more than one class higher or lower than their suggested class. We’re flexible, though, so if you have any questions, please let us know!
You can sign up for the whole summer, for just one week, or anything in between!

Creativity Camp sessions are divided into classes by age and assigned a specific topic of focus.
Sessions titled “Class 1” are built for younger campers (5-7) and will typically offer a different age-appropriate project each day.
Sessions titled “Class 2” are designed for slightly older campers (8-10) and typically offer projects that build off each other from one day to the next.
Sessions titled “Class 3” are for our most advanced campers (11 & up) and will typically include projects that are built over the course of the week.
If you have a child interested in a session theme for a class that does not align with their current age range, reach out to us. Often moving up or down a class is completely appropriate, depending on your child, and we can be flexible with age groupings to allow your kiddo to learn more about a topic of interest!
-
Classes are limited to 12 campers each. Our camper/staff ratio is designed for engaging, hands-on learning throughout the entire day! We have at least two professional staff (adults) and one student staff (college or high school student) on site at all times. Many of our team of instructors/staff are teachers and administrators in Norman schools.
