A Day at Summer Camp

Summer days at Creative Arts are full of movement, imagination, and discovery. Campers start their day with playful connection and a themed circle time, followed by a nature walk or trail adventure where we observe plants, listen for birds, and explore the beauty of Montana’s summer season.

Back at school, children dive into art projects inspired by the week’s theme- painting, sculpting, printing and creating art along with memories. building with natural materials. Full-day campers enjoy lunch together, have a quiet rest or recharge time, and relaxed afternoon play. Our afternoons include a rotating enrichment class, more outdoor time, and space for imagination and collaboration.

Whether we’re creating under the trees, spotting butterflies on a trail, or dancing through a themed movement game, each day brings new ways to grow, create and connect.

Enrichment Classes
