Summer Camp 2026
Summer Camp Registration is NOW OPEN! Join us at one of our three location options for camp (for now*):
Little House
5315 Elliott Rd. Bethesda, MD
Camp at the Little House at Westmoreland Hills Park is designed for ages 5 to 12 and runs from 9:00am to 3:30pm daily. The ideal art camp for artists who love a mix of creativity and adventure—time outdoors, hands-on art making, and everything in between.
Studio Location
5481-C Wisconsin Ave. Chevy Chase, MD
Camp at the Studio Location is designed for ages 6 to 12 and runs from 9:00am to 3:30pm daily, with optional aftercare until 5:30pm. Our most art-focused option, perfect for artists who are serious about their craft, but still enjoy open-ended stations and outdoor exploration (maybe with a side of friendship bracelet making at the park!).
Cleveland Park Club
3433 33rd Pl NW, Washington, DC
Camp at the Cleveland Park Club is designed for ages 4 to 11, runs from 9:00am to 3:30pm daily, and is a fantastic option for artists who love a mix of art activities, sensory play, and time outside! Camp at the Cleveland Park Club runs for select weeks: the week of June 1, June 8, August 17, August 24, and August 31.
*Minimum age for campers (at all locations) is 3.5 years. Siblings are welcome to attend together at any location. Listed age ranges are suggestions. Stay tuned for details about our 2026 camp offerings for preschool-aged artists, including camps designed specifically for ages 3.5–6.
Join Us for a Series of Art Adventures!
Each week offers a unique mix of creative projects inspired by a weekly theme, blending favorite themes from past years with exciting new ones. Campers enjoy open-ended, creativity-driven activities and make full use of nearby parks and outdoor spaces, with each week providing a completely different experience—so they’re welcome to join for as many weeks as they’d like.
Every week wraps up with a Friday afternoon art show—a beloved Red Panda tradition!
