After-School
Art Camps
A place to express, experiment, and envision.
Experiment boldly, express freely, and envision creatively.
Join Ms. Rodriguez in the Art Room at Ordway Elementary for creative and inspiring after-school art camps held every Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday —with select Saturday workshops featuring special guest teachers! Each four-week session meets once a week and focuses on a single art medium or movement. Students might dive into printmaking, wire arts, painting, or drawing—or draw inspiration from movements like Cubism and Expressionism.
Designed for curious and creative 1st through 6th graders, our camps offer a supportive, studio-style environment where young artists can grow at their own pace, experiment boldly, and express themselves freely through hands-on projects that ignite imagination and joy.
Explore all that our camps have to offer—come ready to express, experiment, and envision. There's no limit to what you can create!
