Let’s be honest: finding summer activities that actually keep kids off screens, spark creativity, and make your life easier as a parent? That’s the dream. And lucky for us, GO ART! is making that dream a reality with their Creative Arts Camp, running July 28–August 1 right in downtown Batavia, and August 4th - 15th at the Orleans County Fairgrounds.
If you’re a parent in Genesee or Orleans County looking for a meaningful way to fill a summer week—this is it.
🌟 What is Creative Arts Camp?
This week-long camp is more than glue sticks and finger paint. Kids ages 6–12 will dive into theater, visual arts, music, and movement—all led by passionate local artists and educators who make the arts come alive.
It’s a chance for your child to explore their creativity, build confidence, and form friendships—all while giving you a moment to breathe. (Yes, we see you, summer-parenting warrior.)
Camp runs from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. each day, and yes—there's a lunch break in the middle, so pack a lunch and let the kids settle in for a full day of fun and focus.
🧠 Why Arts Matter for Kids
The benefits of art education go way beyond creating pretty pictures. Creative expression helps kids:
- Boost confidence
- Strengthen problem-solving skills
- Improve communication
- Manage stress and emotions
- Connect with peers in a screen-free environment
And let’s not forget the joy factor. There’s something special about watching your child walk away from camp with a handmade creation and a big ol’ grin on their face.
🎭 Perfect for All Levels
You don’t need to have a budding Picasso or Broadway star on your hands—Creative Arts Camp is designed for all levels and interests. Whether your kid loves to paint, dance, act, or just explore new things, there’s a place for them here.
💛 Why We Love It (and Think You Will Too)
This isn’t a paid ad. It’s just a heartfelt shout-out to a local nonprofit doing incredible work. We love that GO ART! is not only making the arts accessible but making them exciting. Plus, they’re creating a safe and welcoming space where kids can be themselves, experiment, and grow.
