Artscope Camps
& Workshops

At Artscope, we are dedicated to making arts education accessible to the youth and families of St. Louis through a range of camps, classes, and workshops held year-round.

​

Our School’s Out Camps offer a creative and engaging environment for children during school holidays and seasonal breaks. During the summer, we host a 10-week Summer Camp that provides an immersive experience, allowing campers to explore the victorian landscape of Tower Grove Park while developing their creative skills  .

​

Beyond enriching young lives, our camps also support local artists and educators by providing equitable supplementary income, fostering a strong and supportive arts community in St. Louis.

Frequently Asked Questions

FAQs
Q: What sets Camp Create apart?

​

A: 

  • Camp Create is a week-long, immersive, artist-led experience.

  • Our staff is entirely made up of local teachers and artists.

  • Students will explore community, arts, nature and facilitation during their week at Camp Create.

  • We lead by example and model behavior that builds community within camp.

  • We are here to support the success, enrichment, and joy of each child. 

  • We are discovery led, and encourage students to identify and reflect on their interactions with the world around them through the lens of lifelong artistry.

  • We strive to see ourselves in each other, and to approach each day with genuine empathy and connection.

  • We strive to utilize education as a collaborative art form, and are so excited for our cohort to learn, create, and discover right along with your camper!

 

Q: What age range does Camp Create cater to?

 

A: Camp Create is designed for students ages 5 - 10 years old. This age range ensures that students are comfortable with a full day of instruction in a classroom environment. If a parent is confident that their child can handle the full day and follow our expectations, they are welcome to join. However, if a child isn't able to abide by the expectations, they'll need to be picked up from camp.

 

Q: How do I find the Camp Create location?

 

A: We recommend using "Artscope" as your GPS destination rather than "2929 Tower Grove Ave." Enter the park on Kingshighway between Arsenal and Magnolia, and follow the road split to your right up to our cottage. We are located at the corner of Arsenal and Center Cross Drive, across the street from the Turkish Pavilion.

 

Q: Is Camp Create accessible for people with disabilities?

 

A: Unfortunately, due to the historic nature of our studio, our building is not wheelchair accessible. The bathroom can be accessed via a tight spiral staircase. Additionally, voices can reverberate loudly in our stone building, so those with auditory sensitivities might be more comfortable with noise-dampening devices.

 

Q: What is the refund policy for Camp Create?

 

A: Refunds are only issued for cancellations made at least two weeks prior to the start of camp. There may be some flexibility in moving a camp date if enrollment is low, but this should be checked with the Executive Director.

 

Q: Are masks required at Camp Create?

 

A: Masks are recommended in close quarters, but not required as per current CDC recommendations.

 

Q: Does Camp Create offer before or after care?

 

A: We only offer aftercare services during our summer camp from 3 - 6pm

 

Q: Are there scholarships available for Camp Create?

 

A: Yes, we do offer scholarships. Direct interested individuals to this form and send them this scholarship letter.
