Camp Union Summer Camp is a joyful and immersive creative adventure where your child’s imagination is stretched, celebrated, and transformed into real artistic skill—all in just two unforgettable weeks.
Camp Union is for students 8-12 years old.
Topics include:
• Gardening
• Culinary Arts
• Art Studio Time
• Performing Arts
TWO SESSIONS:
Session I: July 6-17, 2026
9 a.m. - 4 p.m., Monday-Friday
or
Session II: July 20-31, 2026
9 a.m. - 4 p.m., Monday-Friday
At Camp Union, students elevate their artistry through hands-on gardening, culinary arts, studio practice, and performing arts, guided by caring educators and inspiring community partners.
In our Abundance Garden, campers learn to create functional art from natural materials, exploring Indigenous African art techniques, practicing mindful harvesting and reciprocity with the earth, hanging herbs to dry, crafting vibrant marigold dyes, making cyanotype sun prints, and embellishing their work with patches and hand-sewn details—culminating in a joyful gallery walk.
Culinary arts come alive through a special collaboration with No More Empty Pots, where students harvest ingredients from the garden and turn them into a fresh, delicious meal they proudly eat for lunch.*
During studio art time, campers build an impressive collection of work as they are introduced to ceramics, fiber arts, sewing, jewelry making, and painting, discovering new materials and talents every day.
In Performing Arts, students collaborate to create and perform a group adaptation of a children’s story, comparing classics like Goldilocks with Afrotina and the Three Bears, learning plot structure, working in small groups, and finally stepping into the spotlight to perform their finished piece.
Spots are limited, and this is the kind of summer experience parents wish they had as kids—enroll now and give your child two weeks they’ll remember forever.
