What others say about us:

“My daughter attended a week long “Be an artist for a week” summer camp and absolutely loved it. I don’t think I’ve ever seen people as enthusiastic about what they do and so kind to the children in their care. From creating wire sculptures to spray painting, designing and printing a T-shirt to a trip to an art gallery, the week was full of activities to spark their imagination, creativity, and develop valuable skills for the future. In my daughters own words “It was heaven”. Extremely good value for money compared to some other camps. We will definitely return next year. Thank you!” Annie
