Arts camp, done right.
Nimbus SummerArts is a full-day performing arts camp for children ages 4โ10 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.

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.
