Bluebird Atelier summer camps are thematic immersive experiences with a different theme each week. The camp day is designed to allow a balance of guided instruction, free create and play time, focused project work, and active movement. Students receive individualized attention from instructors. Every student is appreciated for their unique point of view. Students engage in collaborative work as well as personal projects. Your child will develop a wide variety of knowledge and skills during our camps and classes, including creative problem-solving, the principles of art, literacy and humanities, STEM, social skills, the design process, and more.
Each camp day is taught by experienced teachers with CPR/First Aid training and all applicable clearances, and student-teacher ratios are kept low. During summer camps we utilize our outdoor spaces as well as nearby parks.
