I have a 10 year old who will be there for 2 weeks this summer and has been for the last 2 or 3 summers. They divide the 7-12 year olds by age, so I expect my 10 year old will probably be in the 2nd oldest age group. The could be with older kids or younger, but I don’t expect them to be with 7/8 year olds.

I’ve posted in other threads about VisArts before. The camp is very well organized and it’s the one camp my kid always wants to go back to.

A previous poster asked about sending boys. There are more girls, but my kid has consistently had about 25%-40% boys in his group.

High recommend. Kim Swanner is great, experienced, talented and connects well with kids!

3rd grade DS went for 2 weeks last year and is already signed up for 2 weeks this year. I know other families with boys who attend. Definitely not all girls.

Reviving this...does anyone know if the summer camp is mostly girls? (asking as the parent of a boy who likes to draw)

IT's totally sold out for age 5-6 right? ugh!

Totally!!!!!!!!!!!! It's as laidback or as intense as you want it to be. I would say it's more tho on the laidback side. But they really do a lot of creative projects.

Agreed!!! We've been going there for years! We just love them!

My DD did it twice and really liked it. Now she’s in the age range the sessions are 2 weeks and it’s pricy so we’re not doing it anymore. If it was still one week session she would do a week.

DD did this camp for years. She really loved it.

Any reviews? Thanks!
