OUTDOOR ACTIVITIES
Our students enjoy the vicinity of Alameda parks and beaches. We take daily walks to Longfellow Park which is a 4-minute walking distance (2 blocks) from the studio and Crab Cove beach which is 8 minutes walking distance. Students engage in nature art activities and plein air painting/drawing. Younger students will have opportunity to play on the play structure daily. Teen students, or those who might not need physical exercise, are welcome to bring a book to read, or their sketchbook to draw (drawing supplies and instruction are available while outdoors). 
"This has been my daughter's favorite camp during non-school times - even at a fairly young age she loves having the space to create with different mediums and the guidance to continue to develop as an artist. When she comes home she proudly shows us the new additions to her portfolio each day. And most importantly, she has fun."
"Our child has taken a summer art course and it's been exciting to see how their artistic confidence has grown! Welcoming and supportive environment and gives kids the chance to grow creatively. Highly recommended.e has fun."
