KID smART Camp 2026
Summer Camp
This summer marks an exciting new chapter for KID smART as we launch our very first Summer Camp experience! Designed to spark curiosity, creativity, and confidence, our week-long camps invite young learners to explore the powerful connection between art and STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math).
Rooted in the vibrant culture of New Orleans, our camp blends hands-on artistic exploration with critical thinking and discovery-based learning. Campers won’t just make art — they’ll experiment, problem-solve, collaborate, and engage with the world around them in meaningful ways.
With small cohort sizes and age-based groups, each child receives individualized attention in a nurturing, inspiring environment. Whether your camper is an emerging artist, an inquisitive builder, or simply full of imagination, this summer promises to be a joyful space for growth, expression, and discovery.
We can’t wait to welcome your family into this exciting new tradition.
