Our robust schedule includes camps for ages four through eighteen plus workshops for adults.
Our programs connect you with George Mason faculty, professional teaching artists, and experienced arts educators. A variety of weekly programs run from June through August. Learn, create, and perform with other like-minded young artists and make it a summer to remember!
