Summer Arts

Create your summer.

Three weeks at Summer Arts, and kids walk out with a printed newspaper, a fully staged musical, a gallery show, a fashion show, a dance concert. Some did all of it. Most did several. Every one of them chose what they worked on.

Summer Arts runs in two three-week sessions for kids ages 5 to 15. Each camper builds their own schedule from a catalog of dozens of classes ranging from visual arts, drama, dance, music, media, photography, textiles, sports, and writing. Class sizes are small. Teachers are working artists and educators. The whole camp gathers every day at 12:30 for the Noontime Show, and each session ends with an Arts Festival weekend that opens to families.

We've been at this for over thirty years. The program was modeled on the Charles River Creative Arts Program, which our director Toby Dewey ran for three decades before bringing it to Fayerweather. A lot of our staff started here as campers and came back to teach.
