Summer Arts Camp 2026

Our Summer Arts Camp is back and better than ever! Your student will spend their morning on campus at the University of Akron immersed in the arts. They will start their day in visual art class, exploring artists and their techniques through multimedia applications. Next up, Music Class! Here they will pick up an age-appropriate instrument like the Ukelele and learn how to read music. Then they will head to the theatre for fun and interactive theatre games with Rubber City Theatre. After lunch on campus, students will head into rehearsal for our camp production of Roald Dahls; Willy Wonka KIDS!
