At Summer Art Camp at Art Academy Agoura Hills, we foster a creative and supportive environment where kids can express themselves, collaborate with others, and develop new skills. We are:
- A place where creativity and artistic expression are at the heart of everything we do.
- A program that encourages teamwork, collaboration, and social interaction through hands-on art activities.
- A community where every child’s willingness to try new things is celebrated, and their artistic growth is nurtured.
- An opportunity for children to thrive through creative accomplishments and mutual respect.
Our camp is all about providing a space where kids feel empowered to explore, create, and discover their own artistic voice. They will have the chance to build friendships, engage in team-based projects, and gain the confidence to lead and support others. Through inspiring art workshops, led by our talented instructors, we focus on fostering independence, encouraging collaboration, and creating a fun, welcoming atmosphere. Campers will enjoy a variety of activities, including painting, sculpture, drawing, and interactive art games—all while building lasting friendships and memories.
At Summer Art Camp, every day is filled with fun, creativity, and the joy of making something beautiful with friends!

1. Are parents allowed on campus?
All drop off and pickup will be done "curbside". If you need to drop off your child late (or pick them up early), please arrange with the camp office and bring them inside campus (you can park and walk in OR we can bring your child out to the parking lot). Additional information about drop off & pickup will be sent out via email before camp. If you need to walk your child into camp, that's fine. We just ask that parents leave once their child is situated so that we can open up the parking spot to other families. Once the circle time activities begin, it's mandatory that all parents leave so that kids can start their day!
