The Center for Visual Artists (CVA) hosts the largest visual art camp in the area for young artists, ages 3 - 15. Our week-long themed art camps focus on the exploration of art materials through hands-on guided learning, interactive play, and skill development. We think camp should be an educational experience, but most importantly FUN too!

The CVA is a nonprofit organization that supports emerging artists of all ages through educational programs, exhibition opportunities, and community outreach.
