At Art Camp, kids get to be who they are and are free to express themselves through their projects, whether that's a dance routine, a sewing piece, a film, and so much more. If you're looking for a super unique and diverse environment to send your kids to - I highly recommend this beautiful and quirky place. "

"This is one of the best virtual live dance camps/programs we ever tried. The groups are small, and therefore relationships between kids and instructors are very personal. The classes are always fun and all my three girls are always looking forward to them. The director of the programs is very helpful and fast to respond, just pleasure to communicate. Tracy, our dance instructor, is so professional and at the same time she is super kind and builds great relationship with each child. My kids adore her , with her sense of humor and always positive attitude, learning is even more efficient and "

"My 10-y-o daughter absolutely loved Art Camp 504, and it's evident why: her instructor, Maya, is a skilled professional artist and a caring educator. Beyond the camp's hours, she emailed us links to a curated collection of artworks and resources aligned with my kiddo's specific interests. This was incredibly motivating--and also assured our family that (while we worked remotely, down the hall, behind closed doors) our child was in great hands. My family recommends Art Camp 504 highly, and without reservation!"
