GENERAL CAMP INFORMATION 

The Create Everyday Classroom Summer ART Camps are Monday through Friday, 9am - 1pm  Because of small class sizes, variations on lessons are easily provided when taking into consideration age, interest, and skill.  Camp sizes are small (10 participants) with an age range in each of 4 to 12 years. 

With TEN years of SUMMER CAMP at The Create Everyday Classroom, rituals have been created that returning students look forward to every year.  In addition to visiting the museum (Mia on Thursdays),  there is silly walk day, water balloon day, balloons in the museum courtyard and popsicle day.

Students come prepared with their own mid morning snack, water bottle and lunch. We have daily picnics on the MCAD campus or in the Mia courtyard (weather permitting).

Last year, during IN THE CITY Summer Camp we met up with Urban Sketchers.  This was such an incredible experience for both parties, the facilitator and I are going to do our best to coordinate one event during EVERY CAMP week this year.  Get a glimpse of what this might look like here: 

Each camp is $295 per week.  A non refundable $150 deposit secures your child's seat with a balance of $145 due the Monday of summer camp week.  Seat reservations may be made 

via venmo @Kari-Maxwell 

citing your camp(s) of choice in the memo  

You will receive confirmation of your seat(s) via a venmo return memo  Once a camp’s seats have filled, “Registration is closed. Thank you!” will appear under the corresponding camp dates.   

If this is your first time enrolling, in addition to your payment, please email createeverydayclassroom@gmail.com with the full name and age of your child(ren). More elaborate camp details and necessary paperwork is sent out via email in May.

And, to ALL families, past and present: Thank you for your referrals. For the ten years my program has been in place, word of mouth continues to be my only form of advertisement. With that being said, if this link has been shared with you by another, please let me know who referred you in your email.
