Dive into a full week of creative exploration! Each day features a different fine arts focus — from jewelry making and magical art to painting, sculpture, and mathematical design. Campers will work with high-quality materials to create beautiful, one-of-a-kind projects inspired by professional artists and imaginative play. All materials included.

Our summer camp aftercare program runs daily from 3:00–6:00 PM and offers a relaxed, comfortable extension of the camp day. Children enjoy free-play time with toys, games, board games, and open-ended art materials, allowing them to unwind and choose how they spend their afternoon. The final hour of aftercare is dedicated to quiet reading time, helping campers transition into a calm end-of-day routine. On Fridays, students enjoy an age-appropriate movie beginning at 3:30 PM. A great option for families needing flexible pick-up while keeping kids engaged in a warm, supervised environment.

Deco Arts Camp is a week-long fine arts experience rooted in the creative spirit and thoughtful craftsmanship that defined our original Glen Echo Park program—now reimagined in our new studio space in downtown Bethesda. Young artists explore a rich mix of classic and contemporary art-making techniques, including silkscreen printing, marbleized paper, fossil casting, terra cotta sculpture, and tempera painting on real canvas.

Each day balances structured, skill-based lessons in color, shape, line, and texture with ample time for creative exploration and self-expression. Returning campers are offered new challenges and alternative projects that build on prior experience, allowing them to deepen skills and expand ideas.

Join us for a week of imagination, fine art, and joyful making at Deco Arts Camp—where tradition, creativity, and craft come together in every brushstroke.

Deco Arts Camp Plus is a week-long fine arts experience for older elementary artists ready for greater independence and challenge. Rooted in the creative spirit of our original Glen Echo Park program, this expanded camp is now reimagined in our downtown Bethesda studio.

Campers work with more advanced materials and techniques—including silkscreen printing, marbleized paper, terra cotta sculpture, fossil casting, and tempera painting on real canvas—while building strong foundations in composition, color, line, and texture. Projects allow for individual choice, experimentation, and personal voice, with returning campers encouraged to push ideas further through extended or alternative approaches.

With longer studio time and a focus on process and craftsmanship, Deco Arts Camp Plus offers a true studio experience where confidence, skill, and creativity grow together.
