Indy Art Center Summer Art Camps and Teen Institutes are led by professional teaching artists, offering expert instruction and a vibrant learning environment. Camps are hosted at two locations: the Indy Art Center in Broad Ripple and the Fishers Art Center, in downtown Fishers. This marks the second summer of camps at our Fishers location. Our camps provide hands-on opportunities across various art mediums, including drawing, painting, clay, fibers, photography, printmaking, glasswork, and more. In Broad Ripple, campers create in professional studios, visit art galleries, and explore the scenic 9.5-acre ArtsPark with its inspiring sculptures and White River views. For families near Fishers, our brand-new Fishers Art Center offers state-of-the-art studios within the Fishers Arts and Municipal Complex. What activities are offered at Indy Art Center Summer Art Camps? Campers interact with professional teaching artists to learn new techniques and express themselves creatively in a welcoming and supportive environment. What is the camper-to-counselor ratio? There is an instructor and a camp counselor in each camp. The camp sizes range from 6-14 campers depending on the medium. How much time do the campers spend outside? Morning and afternoon camps include a 30-minute snack and movement break, allowing campers to connect with peers and enjoy the ArtsPark. Some camps, such as Photography, Nature + Art, Cloudy with a Chance of Creativity, and Science + Art, incorporate outdoor lessons. Does the camp provide lunch/snacks, or do parents need to provide them? Campers enrolled in both morning and afternoon sessions within the same week should bring a lunch to enjoy during the supervised break between sessions. All campers should bring a snack and water bottle daily. What is the typical daily schedule for campers? The day begins with drop-off, where campers are greeted by staff and engage in fun warm-up activities. Teaching artists then guide them through hands-on art projects and demonstrations in the studios. A 30-minute snack and movement break is included before returning to art-making activities. At the end of the day, campers are brought to their cars by staff during check-out. Each week concludes with a Friday Art Show, where families and friends are invited to tour the studios and admire the campers' creations. How old are the counselors, and how are they trained? Counselors are 18 years and older with a background in the arts and experience working with children. All staff attend comprehensive training sessions covering safety protocols and classroom management techniques. What accommodations are made for campers with special needs? We work closely with families to identify and implement necessary accommodations for individual campers. Families are encouraged to contact our camp director to share details and can also provide relevant information during the registration process. Where is the Indianapolis Art Center located? The Indy Art Center is centrally located in Broad Ripple, while the Fishers Art Center is part of the Fishers Arts and Municipal Complex, featuring cutting-edge studios and facilities.
