The Art Camp is an arts-based day camp that blends unique creative arts activities with traditional summer camp fun. It was formerly known as The Summer Art Academy and offers Summer Camp, Spring Camp, Thanksgiving Camp, and Winter Camp, with Mini Camps for Thanksgiving, Winter, and Spring Breaks introduced in 2017. The program is open to kids going into Kindergarten and up for summer, and to PreK and up (must be 5 by September 1, 2026) for Spring Camp 2026. The camp offers a diverse daily curriculum tailored to children’s curiosity and sense of discovery, along with a high level of personal service and attention to detail. Campers are supported and encouraged to try activities, make friendships, and give teens a chance to lead, and spots are limited with the camp filling up fast.
The Art Camp’s mission is to offer a custom-crafted summer arts program filled with stimulating and enriching workshops that focus on exploring a wide variety of techniques and materials. All activities are taught by a caring, patient, seasoned staff of directors, teachers, camp counselors, CITs, and JCITs, with a dynamic daily curriculum designed to nurture creativity and a passion for discovery.
The program’s leadership team includes Director and Art Camp Owner Ashley Falsnes; Art Camp 101 & Junior Camp Director and Staff Development Director teacher Deborah Turobiner; and Upper & Teen Camp Director and Staff Development Director lead counselor and junior counselor Skyler Colangelo. The staff team includes enrichment specialists, Le Cordon Bleu chefs, Bachelor’s degree graduates, and performing arts professionals. Ashley earned her Bachelor of Arts degree in Communications and Theatre Arts from The University of Arizona in 2003, her Master of Arts in Cross-Cultural Communications from National University in 2007, and holds a Multiple Subjects Teaching Credential. Skyler graduated Summa Cum Laude from California Lutheran University in 2024 with a degree in Liberal Studies in Education and a minor in Art History.
The Summer Art Academy first opened its doors in 2003 in Van Nuys, California, and over the next four years operated in Bel Air and Valley Village before a second campus opened at Ilan Ramon Day School in Agoura Hills in 2007. In 2015, Ashley became the Camp Owner, and in 2017 she introduced Mini Camps for Thanksgiving, Winter, and Spring Breaks. The program was later renamed The Art Camp, and summer 2025 marks the 18th year of Art Camp, with summer 2026 marking the 19th year. The Art Camp has continued operating after losing its building in the Woolsey Fires and after closure during the COVID-19 pandemic.
