August 11-15 Wicked Adventures 8-11. Imagination takes center stage in a world of artistic exploration and magical fun! This camp invites young artists to immerse themselves in whimsical, hands-on sparkly art projects inspired by the enchanting world of potions and magic. Campers will unleash their creativity through painting, drawing, and mixed media, using color, and glitter, to create vibrant masterpieces that reflect the fantastical world around them. They’ll also collaborate on "Wicked"-themed art installations, designing and building magical creations from recycled materials while learning the importance of problem-solving. As the week unfolds, campers will add a scientific twist to their artistic journey by experimenting with slime, crafting gooey, stretchy creations while discovering the science behind polymers and material properties. With a focus on creativity, self-expression, and a touch of magic, Wicked Adventures Camp offers an unforgettable experience where art and imagination thrive and the perfect way to wrap up summer 2025!

Camp FAQs
How many children are in each camp?In San Rafael our Do Art studio is able to accommodate 28 campers and in Novato at Studio 4 Art we have up to 16 campers.
Does the paint wash out of clothes?Most generally, no. We are a fine art studio and want our students and campers to experience true and traditional art materials. We know from experience it makes a big difference in their excitement when they see how vibrant and rich colors are and how the consistency in fine art materials differ. Please wear art clothes that you don’t mind getting dirty. We do have aprons but they don’t always cover.
If my child attended last year will they work on new projects?YES! Because our teaching style is child directed, if your child attended clay camp last year, although our curriculum may look the same, their executions will be very different as they now have experience and are a year older.
My child doesn’t really know much about art, will they feel overwhelmed?Our camps are taught to scaffold the learning of each of our campers. We will meet a child at their level and have the ability to then work together to accomplish a work of art that they are proud of. We don’t ever compare work from one camper to another, we know every child comes with their own set of knowledge, our goal is to elevate and celebrate them from where they are.
What techniques will my child learn?With every week we want your child to walk out of our camp with art knowledge in technique, vocabulary, and history. Techniques will include fine art and contemporary applications. We experiment and learn about drawing skills, design skills, hand sewing, and textile design.
What art materials will my child work with?Depending on the theme of the week, clay, paint, printmaking, drawing, mosaics, cartooning, sewing, recycled materials, and mixed media are just a few examples. We are a true art studio working with all visual art materials. Our teachers are trained and have experience with all art mediums.
May I transfer to a different camp?
If there is a spot available in the camp you would like to transfer to, yes. There is a $25 transfer fee.
We love what we do, and we know your child will too.Camps are refundable- Less a $100 non refundable processing fee up to 45 days in advance. After 45 days in advance, we can offer a credit less a $100 processing fee IF we are able to fill the spot(s). Otherwise, camps are non-refundable.
