From the team behind JC SummerArts.


Arts camp, done right.

Nimbus SummerArts is a full-day performing arts camp for children ages 4โ€“10 at our Springfield Ave studio. Each week has its own theme โ€” kids spend the week exploring it through dance, theater, singing, and art โ€” and every Friday the whole camp performs for families.

Led by professional Teaching Artists. Capped at 20 kids per group. Real costumes, real lights, real stage.

โญ Professional Artists

Every teacher is a working professional in their discipline.

โญ Multi-Arts

Dance, theater, singing, and visual arts โ€” all in one week.

โญ Small Groups

Max 20 campers per group for genuine connection.

โญ Friday Performance

Every week ends with a real show for families.


Weekly Themes

Every week is a new world.

Register for just one week or all three โ€” each stands alone as its own complete adventure, with a unique theme, unique art projects, and a unique Friday performance.

Every Friday at 4pm, parents are invited to watch their camper perform live. Each week's theme comes to life in a real performance complete with lighting and staging. No after-care on Fridays. Exact themes subject to change; see current JC SummerArts for inspiration.

  • Take center stage during Broadway Week! Campers will dive into the magic of musical theater as they create show-stopping art, explore acting and movement, and bring classic Broadway stories to life through creative projects. Itโ€™s a week full of imagination, expression, and applause!

  • Step into a vibrant animal city during Zootopia Week! Campers will celebrate creativity and diversity by designing animal-inspired art, building imaginative worlds, and telling stories where everyoneโ€™s unique talents shine. This playful week is all about teamwork, self-expression, and discovering that anyone can be anything through art!

  • Become a hero for the Earth during Planet Protectors Week! Campers will explore creativity with a purpose as they make eco-inspired art, reuse materials in imaginative ways, and learn how small actions can make a big impact. This fun and thoughtful week celebrates caring for our planet through art, teamwork, and imagination.

  • Nimbus SummerArts in Summit welcomes children ages 4โ€“10. Groups are divided by age. Age grouping is based on your child's age as of September 1, 2026. Campers must be at least 4 years old on their first day of camp.

  • Absolutely not! SummerArts is designed for all levels, from first-timers to kids with years of training. Our Teaching Artists meet each child where they are. Curiosity and enthusiasm are the only requirements.

  • Each day is structured around the week's theme โ€” campers rotate through dance, theater, singing, and visual arts activities with their group. There's outdoor time every other day (weather permitting), a quiet rest period for younger campers, and dedicated rehearsal time leading up to the Friday performance.

  • Fridays are performance day! At 4:00pm, families are invited to watch a live performance based on the week's theme. It's a real production โ€” not just a class demonstration. There is no after-care on Fridays.

  • Campers should bring a nut-free lunch and snacks each day (lunch is not provided), a water bottle, and comfortable clothes they can move in. We'll send a full packing list upon registration.

  • Yes! Need-based scholarships and payment plans are available. Please contact summit@nimbusdanceworks.org to request a scholarship application. We believe every child deserves access to quality arts education.

  • Withdrawals must be made in writing. Refunds or credit are granted if withdrawal is made more than 15 days before the start date. If made 7โ€“14 days before, 50% may be refunded or a full credit issued. Within 7 days of start, transfers or credits may be available depending on space. The $25 registration fee and deposit are non-refundable.

  • Yes! Before-care and after-care are available as an add-on. Before-care is $100/week; After-care is $75/week. Note that there is no after-care on Fridays, as the weekly performance takes place at 4:00pm.
