WHAT TO EXPECT:
Hands-On Daily Creative Projects
Kids will participate in multiple guided and open-ended creative activities designed to encourage imagination, self-expression, problem solving, confidence building, and artistic exploration.
Each day will feature exciting projects, themed activities, crafts, and creative experiences that keep young artists engaged, inspired, and having FUN all summer long!
Come Dressed To Create
Creativity can get messy… and that’s part of the fun!
Between painting, slime making, sensory play, mixed media projects, journaling, clay work, crafting, wearable art, and hands-on creative activities, kids will likely get paint, glue, glitter, markers, clay, or other art materials on their clothing.
We highly recommend sending your child in comfortable, play-friendly clothes that you don’t mind getting messy.

Please avoid sending children in fancy outfits, expensive clothing, brand-new shoes, or special occasion attire.
At Canvas Palm Springs, we encourage kids to fully enjoy the creative process and sometimes masterpieces come with a little paint on your shirt!
