Stay tuned for the 2026 Summer Camp Schedule!
Arts by the Sea has a long tradition of inspiring young artists to explore the outdoors while discovering their creativity through a variety of artistic media.
Each morning, campers dive into the world of art history—learning about movements like Impressionism, Expressionism, and Cubism—and then applying those styles in their own original works. A highlight of the week is our field trip to the beach, where campers paint seaside landscapes surrounded by nature’s beauty.
Afternoons bring even more creativity with sessions in music, drama, or STEAM.
Introduced in 2023, our STEAM component adds two weeks of hands-on learning and experimentation that have quickly become a camper favorite!
In music, campers explore rhythm, melody, and movement through stories, songs, and dances, preparing for a joyful Friday performance. With plenty of drums, ukuleles, marimbas, and hand percussion, every camper gets to play and participate.
During drama sessions, young performers learn to bring characters to life—expressing emotion, building confidence, and developing teamwork and leadership skills. It’s a fun, engaging way to grow on and off the stage while making lasting friendships.
