Summer is heating up with the Arts Center’s creative, action-packed lineup of camps! Campers ages 6 and up will dive into meaningful skill-building projects, not just crafts, fostering creativity all summer long. Visual and Performing Arts sessions include our one-of-a-kind Rock of Ages dance and drama camp.
And we are proud to be offering a new Adaptive Performing Arts Camp, making the performing arts accessible to all.
Summer sessions run June 13 through July 29.
Kicking off the summer June 13-17 is Art Around the World, where campers get to “travel” across the globe by exploring the unique styles of an array of artists from different countries and cultures. Kids ages 6-8 and 9-14 will be able to fill up their own portfolio passport with original art. $145
The always popular Theater Camp for kids ages 9-14 will be June 20-24 and again July 11-15, from 9:30 a.m. to :30 p.m. Campers will experience a mini-production and will “perform” as both cast and production crew. Young artists will learn how to write scripts, understand and develop characters, create sets, props, and design costumes. $330
Take the Stage participants will enjoy a well-rounded musical experience, expanding on their music, dance and drama skills, culminating with a mini showcase on Friday. This camp is offered twice, June 27-July 1 and again July 18-22, with each session offering two age groups (6-8 and 9-14).
Running at the same time is Mixed-Up Masterpieces, where students will study folk and fine art will inspire both traditional and unusual 2D and 3D artwork. Campers will show off their masterpieces in final exhibit/reception held on Friday.
These camps can be taken individually in the morning or afternoon, or can be combined, to offer a full day experience (9:30 a.m.-3 p.m. for both camps). $145 per session.
During our new Art with Amos: Sound Garden camp July 11-15, students ages 9-14 will have the unique opportunity to work alongside Lowcountry’s famous Amos Hummell. Drawing inspiration from his recent Sound Garden collection, campers will get to create multimedia wall hangings using paint, wire, beads, modeling clay, and fun embellishments. $145, but the experience is priceless!
For campers eager to work their left and rights brain, Lowcountry STEAM is July 25-29. Students ages 9-14 will learn about circuits, cardboard engineering, and even virtual reality with painting as they engage in hands-on projects that reinforce Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) while creating Art (STEAM)! $175.
Aspiring superstars will love the new Rock of Ages camp! Students will work with cast members from the Arts Center’s summer musical, learning a variety of dance and drama techniques from a pro, to take their abilities to the next level. This camp, for students ages 11-18 with intermediate dance skills will be July 25-29. $175.
That same week, Art For All: Adaptive Performing Arts is available for independent campers ages 11-18 with mild to moderate developmental disabilities who want to enjoy a collaborative team building project by making a one-act play. $175.
Registration is required for all camps. Sign up at artshhi.com/workshops or email aadams@artshhi.com.
Discounts are available for multiple family members attending the same camp and multiple camps attended in the same week. Students attending full day camps should bring a sack lunch, drink and snack.
