Come get messy, get inspired, and make art where the forest meets the sea! Now in its fifth year, AVA’s Art Camps inspire young minds through hands-on, nature-based art projects at Fort Stevens State Park.
Each 3-day camp is Tuesday - Thursday, 10:00am - 1:00pm. Up to 60 kids, ages 5 - 13, will travel through three stations each day, making a variety projects. Some projects span multiple days, all are designed by Art Room staff to bring together artistic skill-building and outdoor exploration to foster imagination, confidence, and connection.

ART CAMP Sponsorship - Businesses & Individuals
MAKE IT POSSIBLE FOR EVERY CHILD TO COME TO ART CAMP!
Businesses and individuals are invited to sponsor Art Camp so that it is accessible to every child who wants to attend. Keeping camp affordable is at the very heart of our mission, which is why sponsorship is a different amount than registration. In truth, it costs over $100 to provide each child with this enriching, unforgettable experience. Your generosity not only helps cover the true costs — it opens doors, nurtures young hearts, and fuels the artists and leaders of tomorrow.
$100 - Sponsor one child for one camp
$200 - Sponsor siblings or two children for one camp
$300 - Sponsor three children for one camp
$500 - Ensures ART CAMP continues! Help us sustain this important program!
Sponsors have their logo or name printed on camp t-shirts and on promotional materials.
* Generous local individuals and business sponsors make it possible for over 60 children to attend Art Camp each year at no cost!
CAMP HISTORY: Starting in 2022 - 2023, AVA partnered with the new nonprofit, Art Room, to host the first Art Camps. They were fun and wildly successful! Fast forward to 2024, AVA began managing Art Room and now we offer Art Room After School and are hosting three summer Art Camps. We can’t do this without community support and grant funding. Thank you so much to the individuals and business that support this program enabling Art Camps and Art Room After School to be accessible to ALL!
