Kids Camp at The Pottery Place

Our camps are fun and educational. Personal expression is encouraged, imagination is explored, and creativity is enhanced. There's a camp theme that is perfect for any child, ages 6 to 13. Call 446-0870 to sign up you children today. You'll get a break while they're here and they'll have a ball.

Our week-long camps are very special. We encourage personal expression for each child with a wide variety of projects using many different art mediums and techniques. These projects are much more sophisticated than your typical camp projects. Children make their own pieces in clay, paint ceramics pieces and then explore a wide variety of crafts and other art mediums. We have three brand new themed camps running this summer with projects as varied as making a safety pin watch, learning about quilting, or throwing paint like Jackson Pollock. The children complete 8-10 projects per week and have a great time.

Our day camps are ceramic based and the children will have a great time exploring their creativity with some very special pieces. There are two weeks of ceramic camps, each with it's own theme, though children can come to one or all of the camps.

See camp details below. If you'd like a camp flyer, please call the studio at 446-0870 and we will be happy to mail you one.

Registration and prepayment is required for all our summer camp programs. Please call soon so your child won't be left out. We keep the classes small so space is limited.

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to call us. Thank you.
