Unleash your creativity this summer at the Riverside Art Center’s Youth Camps! Designed for young artists from ages 5 - 12, this week-long camp offers hands-on experiences in painting, drawing, sculpture, printmaking, collage, performance art, and more. Campers will explore an array of artistic mediums through engaging workshops led by talented teaching artists while rotating between RAC’s galleries, artist studios, art classrooms, and Riverside’s beautiful outdoor parks.

Campers will be grouped according to their incoming grades (K-4th and 5th-7th), and led by RAC’s teaching artists, who will collaborate, create, and build students’ confidence in their own artistic abilities. Each week culminates in a community art showcase, where families can celebrate the campers’ creativity and accomplishments.

Join us for an unforgettable summer filled with imagination, exploration, and artistic discovery! 

Spots are limited! Camp registrations will close a week before the camp start date! 

Explore the Art of Clay!  Discover the world of ceramic art in this hands-on, two-week camp designed for teens who want to explore the fundamentals of clay. In a small group setting (maximum 6 students per session), each participant will receive personalized instruction in ceramics techniques. 

Led by experienced ceramic artists, campers will learn everything from hand-building, wheel throwing, surface techniques, and underglazing to glazing and kiln firing. With daily skill demonstrations and dedicated independent work time, students will develop confidence and craftsmanship while creating unique, functional, and sculptural pieces.

Whether you're a beginner or looking to refine your skills, Teen Ceramics Camp offers the perfect space to experiment, learn, and bring your artistic visions to life!
