For our youngest artists, projects will focus on a new and exciting theme each week! Campers will be placed in studios with peers in their age group for age-appropriate projects, and will experiment with materials like clay, paint, and found objects
Each summer, Fleisher offers fun-filled art adventures designed for artists ages 5 – 18.
Overview
Fleisher offers camps for all different ages! Projects change throughout each week, so campers are welcome to jump-in for a handful of days or stay involved throughout the entire summer. Campers are grouped by age – read on to learn about each group’s focus.

-
Tween campers will explore all the mediums our studios have to offer! Campers will learn the techniques and vocabularies of ceramics, printmaking, photography, and more. Bringing their own artistic and personal interests, preteens can use these varied media to find new languages for their creative expression.
-
Teen campers will participate in half-day camps, either in the morning, afternoon, or both for two weeks at a time. These intensives are building blocks of an arts foundation, introductory in their curriculum but expansive in their project possibilities! Faculty will delve deeper into technique, allowing teen artists to walk away with portfolio-ready work. While deeply informative intensives, these classes also offer opportunities for creative teens across the Philadelphia area to meet and build community!

For ages 5-12, we offer a new full-day camp each week. Ages 13-18 can choose one of our half-day two week-long intensive camps.
