My son has done a camp as well as a 7 weeks course and he really enjoyed himself. He learned some basics and became a more confident artist.

My son is going on his 5th session there and I can't say enough good things! Sam, the director is amazing! She goes above and beyond. My son really enjoyed his mini Monet class along with his sculpting class. His favorite class by far though, is sewing!

Can’t say enough great things about this center. Have taken watercolor and drawing adult classes for years. My granddaughter has grown up with awesome, professional artist/teachers and is eager to begin volunteering. Scot, and now Susan, as directors, give much back to our community.

My 7 year old recently attended the mini art camp because I signed him up against his will. However, I knew I made a good choice- he camp out beaming the first day of art camp! He loved every day, and has requested to go back. The art they worked on was fantastic, and of great interest to him. The teachers were awesome. He'll be going back in the future!

At the suggestion of my niece, I enrolled my 7 year old son for classes at Creative Arts Studio. He was hesitant at first, always is, but he came out the first day beaming, and excited to tell me about the art he had made that day. At the end of the 3 day mini camp, he was so sad to leave. He was actually mad at me for not signing him up earlier . He has already asked to go back! He loved every minute, and we plan on enrolling next summer too. Great work to the teachers of art camp. You all did a wonderful job!

I have met some of the nicest people I’ve ever had the pleasure of knowing a creative arts school. The teacher Kathy. Jagman is superb. Scott the director is a very kind and wonderful man. Both of them are very dedicated to their customers. I’m on my fourth tour there at Creative arts. And I love it. I have grown so much in my oil paintings. It had been 40 years since I’ve painted before I went back there. It was a gift from my children. Best gift I ever got. Thank you everybody that’s there for your support and your care.
