Summer Camps for Ages 4–18 and Workshops for Adults
Join us this summer at George Mason University in Fairfax, Virginia for enriching and inclusive summer camps, programs and workshops! Our programs focus on both artistry and skill-building in the areas of music, acting and theater, visual art, and film. 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!
Due to high demand and waitlists, our Summer programs require full commitment to the scheduled camp dates and times. If you are unable to attend the camp as listed, we ask that you please explore another camp week that allows you to do so.
