Expose your children to limitless possibilities, inspiration, and motivation, allowing them to imagine and to create their own worlds. For six years, The Open Studio has offered arts camps where children are inspired to learn and create in Jerusalem. Come join us where art is for everyone!
Our goal is to inspire your child to innovate and create and to believe in his or her ability to do so. Campers spend 1-2 weeks engaged in a few long term projects, become experts in a specific art medium or topic, learn to plan, solve problems, make critical decisions, work as a team, and create beautiful things that they will treasure for years to come.
For descriptions of this summer’s sessions and pricing, please see here.
The camp day runs from 8:30-14:00. Please see Logistics for more details.
