Campers are grouped by grade, with limited enrollment per group. Activities throughout the camp day typically include ceramics, drawing and painting, performing arts, and mixed media "makerspace".

The MCA summer arts programming inspires your child's imagination as we have fun creating and exploring in an interdisciplinary arts environment. Each week a new theme unites ceramics, visual arts, crafting, problem-solving, and more with age appropriate curriculum. Kids make new friends, develop their creativity, and gain confidence through sharing and cooperation. Our staff consists of teachers trained in the arts, and counselors who have an interest in the arts - many of them being former campers! All of our staff are passionate about the arts, summer fun, and safety.
