PROGRAMS | VISUAL ARTS
Our mission supports children's artistic lives all summer long
These campers may become the creators of the future, growing into innovative leaders who improve the world they inherit.
Glass Art
HVC campers design their own traditional stained glass pieces - mirrors, window hangings, etc. - and that's just the beginning! Campers make fused glass plates, bowls and plaques. They create jewelry and small sculptures in the glass bead studio. And the Beehive is home to a dynamic glass blowing program where campers produce glass flowers, cups and more.
Ceramics
Hidden Valley's 3 room pottery studio features 5 wheels, a huge open space where children create an infinite number of hand-building projects, and 3 kilns, a slab roller and just outside a special spot for raku firings.
Woodworking
The sky's the limit in this active and exciting camp area! Make furniture for home, create free form sculptures, invent a toy and more!
Photography
Two darkrooms support HVC's dedication to the "ancient art" of analog black and white photography. We provide each camper with a 35 millimeter camera and they print their photos.
Textiles
Silkscreen, tie dye or batik a T-shirt. Create a pillow or stuffed animal. You'll bring something home that you'll have forever!
What Folks Say About Arts At HVC
“The arts classes are much more intensive and engaging for both kids than I imagined. Stained glass, woodworking etc. The kids have a chance to undertake serious responsibility which is great to observe in action. And those who teach the classes so thoughtful and engaged.”
