Summer is a wonderful time for kids to create, explore, and try something new. If your child enjoys drawing, painting, building, crafting, or simply making beautiful messes with their hands, an art camp can be a meaningful way to spend part of the summer. Around Clinton, Mississippi, there are several local art camp options for different ages—from preschoolers to teens.


Here are three local art camp options worth checking out.


1. Camp Creative at Family Social Club


This one is especially sweet for younger children. Camp Creative is hosted by Family Social Club in Clinton and is designed for ages 3–6. The camp will be held July 13–16, from 9:00–11:00 a.m., and the cost is $120 per child.


What I like about this camp is that it sounds playful, hands-on, and age-appropriate. The camp highlights creativity, different art techniques each day, and the use of food and nature in art projects. At the end of camp, children will also have framed artwork to take home, which is such a special keepsake for both kids and parents.


Best for: preschool and kindergarten-age children who enjoy colorful, sensory, hands-on activities.


Details:

  • Ages: 3–6

  • Dates: July 13–16

  • Time: 9:00–11:00 a.m.

  • Cost: $120 per child

  • Location: Family Social Club, 102 W. Leake St., Clinton, MS

  • Led by: Emilie Sanders, Mississippi Christian University (MC) Art professor and local artist

  • Register: Family Social Club website


2. Mississippi Christian University (MC) Department of Art Summer Camps


For school-age children and teens, the Mississippi Christian University Department of Art offers summer art camps in its art studios. These camps are a great option for kids who are ready for a more structured art experience and want to try different materials and processes in a college art studio setting.


There are two main options:


Young Artists Camp

This camp is for rising 2nd–6th graders. Campers make art using a variety of materials and processes, including ceramics, sculpture, painting, drawing, and printmaking. The camp runs June 22–25, 8:30–11:30 a.m., and the cost is $150, which includes art materials, insurance, and an apron.


One note: this camp may fill quickly, so parents should check availability early. If it is full, you may be able to request to be placed on a waitlist.


Teen Summer Art Camp

This camp is for rising 7th–12th graders. Teens can choose from different art areas depending on whether they register for the morning or afternoon session. Options include areas such as digital illustration, photography, acrylic painting, ceramics, and pastels. The camp also runs June 22–25. Registration is $200 for either the morning or afternoon session, or $350 for both.


Best for: Middle school students and teens who want a more focused art studio experience.

3. Around the World Art Camp at The Clinton Art House


This camp sounds like a colorful little art journey around the world. Around the World Art Camp, led by Lucía Duque, will be held at The Clinton Art House from June 22–26 and is designed for ages 7–15.


What makes this camp special is the cultural theme. During the week, young artists will “travel” through art by learning about different countries, artists, and creative traditions. The camp includes Mexico with Frida Kahlo, Vienna with Gustav Klimt, Japan inspired by Hokusai, Spain with Picasso, and African art through masks and landscapes.


Campers will create with flower collages, natural materials, watercolor, ink, gold and mixed media, acrylic on canvas, recycled sculpture, and more. This would be a great fit for children who are curious about the world, enjoy stories behind art, and like trying many different creative materials.


Details:

  • Ages: 7–15

  • Dates: June 22–26

  • Location: The Clinton Art House, 308 Jefferson St., Clinton, MS

  • Theme: Around the world through art

  • Register: Lucia Duque website


Final Thoughts

If you have a younger child, Camp Creative at Family Social Club looks like a sweet and manageable first art camp experience. If your child is in elementary school or middle/high school and wants a more studio-based art experience, the Mississippi Christian University Department of Art camps are worth checking out. If your child loves culture, color, imagination, and hands-on projects, Around the World Art Camp at The Clinton Art House sounds like a beautiful summer adventure.


As always, please confirm details, availability, and registration deadlines directly with the camp organizers before signing up. Spots may be limited, and summer camps often fill quickly.
