Photos from past camps
Summer Camp (Taylor's Version)
Camp Description: Campers went on a musical journey as they designed and built their own dollhouse version of Taylor Swift’s iconic tour stage sets from various eras. In addition to crafting miniature stages, campers explored their creativity through a range of Taylor-themed art projects, from lyric-inspired paintings to album cover collages, friendship bracelets, tie dye, clay creations, and more! Part of the week was spent creating and practicing for a Taylor themed talent show that was performed on the last day of camp for their family and friends.
Nature Dreams and Sunbeams
Camp Description: Campers dove into a world of nature’s magic as they built treehouses for forest gnomes and fairies using natural materials. They also explored fun side projects like making dolls out of forest materials, weaving dream catchers, and creating tea cups out of clay for a tea party on the last day of camp.
Runway Getaway
Camp Description: Campers designed and created their own unique outfits for a dazzling fashion show. The kids worked one-on-one with our resident professional seamstress to design, measure, cut, sew, and style their looks. Campers also designed a magazine cover featuring themselves as the cover model, and pages full of fashion design collages. In addition, they got to tie dye, embroider, mold with clay, and work with beads. At the end of the week campers showed off their creations in a fashion show with their family and friends in the audience.
Art of Gold Summer Camp Art Showcase
Camp Description: At the conclusion of our summer camp lineup, all the art created by our talented campers was displayed in the Nevada Fine Arts Community Gallery for the month of August. We held a gallery opening event for the campers and their guests to celebrate all the incredible creativity that took place at camp over the summer. We also held an art auction featuring all the collaborative pieces that were created during the camps, with the proceeds being donated to the NFA community gallery and the Nevada Humane Society.
