About
Paramount Center for the Arts Summer Art Camps include hands-on activities such as working with clay, painting and drawing, mixed media, glass projects, creating stop motions, making flip books, creating characters, cartooning, and fiber arts. Camps also include two-dimensional art projects like doodles, drawings, and paintings, as well as using colorful dyes to transform fabric, introductory hand stitches, and modifying fabrics. Clay-focused sessions are offered through AM and Afternoon Clay Camps.
• Ages: 7–14 years old
• Schedule: Camps run Monday through Thursday, with morning sessions typically from 10:00 am to 12:00 pm and afternoon sessions from 1:00 pm to 3:00 pm
The schedule includes specific themed camps such as VA7: Motion Makers: Creating Stop Motions! for ages 11 to 14, CC7: AM Clay Camp for ages 7 to 10, VA8: The Great Quest to Create Cartoons! for ages 7 to 10, CC8: Afternoon Clay Camp for ages 11 to 14, VA9: Totally Terrific 2D! for ages 7 to 10, CC9: AM Clay Camp for ages 11 to 14, VA10: Creative Threads Camp: A Fabric Adventure! for ages 11 to 14, and CC10: Afternoon Clay Camp for ages 7 to 10, on dates in late July and early August 2026. Each week ends with an Art Show during the final 20 minutes of camp, when friends and family are welcome. Work that needs to be fired in a kiln stays on site, and an email is sent when it is ready for pick-up.
Families are responsible for arranging transportation, and students are asked to arrive no earlier than 15 minutes before camp and be picked up no later than 15 minutes after camp ends. Students are asked to wear clothes that can get messy and closed-toed shoes, and to keep devices like phones or tablets on silent; the program is not responsible for damaged, lost, or stolen devices. If a student is registered for both a morning and afternoon camp, they may stay on site and eat a brought-from-home bag lunch with staff, and they will not leave the facility or use vending machines; due to allergy concerns, no tree nut or peanut products should be sent.
The Paramount Visual Arts Studios state that they nurture a love of the arts and welcome beginning through experienced artists in a newly renovated studio for hands-on arts education. Community Engagement programs are offered, and the Paramount Center for the Arts states that it welcomes all people to the Studios with an expectation of inclusion and respect toward all students, instructors, staff, volunteers, and oneself. The organization notes that it welcomes comments and suggestions about improving programs and services for visitors with disabilities and is committed to improving experiences for every patron. An Assistance Fund is available to provide access to educational arts programming for those who would not otherwise be able to participate due to financial limitations.
The leadership team includes a Director of Community Engagement, Aimee Miron, and a Ceramics Technician. Ceramic artists can use the studio outside of class during specified open studio hours from September to May, and Arts Underground is offered as a drop-in program with no registration required on a first-come, first-served basis.
