Cultivate, an arts organization based in Grand Rapids, Michigan, is excited to announce its Summer Art Camps for 2024, specifically designed for children and teenagers. These programs aim to provide age-appropriate, in-depth art education and encourage artistic growth and expression among young learners. This year, Cultivate offers a structured curriculum across two distinct age groups: children aged 6-12 and teenagers aged 13-18, ensuring a focused and enriching experience tailored to each developmental stage.
Elementary Summer Art Camps: Exploring Creativity
For children aged 6-12, Cultivate's Summer Art Camps offer a vibrant and supportive environment where young students can explore their creativity through a variety of art forms. Each camp is crafted to spark imagination and foster a love for artistic expression. With courses running from June to August, these camps cover diverse areas such as puppetry, model making, printmaking, and more, allowing children to discover and develop their artistic talents.
The camps for this age group are designed to be both educational and enjoyable, emphasizing hands-on activities that promote creative thinking and skill development. Experienced art educators lead each session, ensuring that every child receives the support and guidance they need to thrive.
Teen Summer Art Camps: Advancing Artistic Skills
The Teen Summer Art Camps at Cultivate are specifically designed for young artists aged 13-18, focusing on more advanced techniques and concepts. These camps provide an immersive experience, enabling students to deepen their understanding of art and its various mediums. From exploring watercolor landscapes and sculpture creation to mastering oil painting and engaging in fashion design, these programs are tailored to challenge and inspire.
Teen camps emphasize personalized instruction and mentorship from seasoned artists and educators. This approach allows participants to enhance their technical skills while exploring the conceptual aspects of their work. The camps encourage critical thinking about art and its relation to broader contexts, enriching students' creative practice.

Understanding the diverse needs of families and participants, Cultivate offers flexible scheduling options, including half-day and full-day camps, to accommodate different preferences and commitments.
