Register for Summer 2026 Art Camp
Our Mission: Inspiring Creativity, Confidence, and Connection Through Art
At our summer art camp, we believe that every child deserves the chance to explore their creativity in a joyful, supportive environment. Our mission is to nurture young artists by providing hands-on experiences in painting, drawing, and mixed media—guided by passionate, professional artists and assistants who encourage imagination and self-expression. With your help, we can continue planting the seeds of artistic growth, one brushstroke at a time.

To register for Dancing Paintbrush Studio Summer Art Camps, there are two steps:
1. First, make a payment via PayPal below. Payment MUST be made in order to hold your space. You will receive immediate confirmation from PayPal and, within 24-48 hours, an email confirmation from us along with a Welcome Letter. PLEASE NOTE: your confirmation and Welcome Letters will be sent to the email address associated with your PayPal account. (There are separate buttons for Before/Aftercare and Daylong Immersion Days options; they are at the very bottom of the page, when you scroll down.) We enroll on a first-come, first-served basis.
2. Second, fill out the Registration Form (you MUST register your child, or your application will not be accepted): Click here for our online Registration Form. You must register your child at least 2 weeks before your camp week(s) begin; otherwise, you will forfeit your week of camp. For Drop-in Days, please email us at Bethpaints@gmail.com to see if we have space for your child.
Beforecare and Aftercare: Hours are from 8-9am and 3-5pm, in 1-hour increments only. No aftercare on Fridays, camp ends at 3pm. Please scroll to the bottom of the page, past Week 10. Our Aftercare program will be facilitated by the staff of Afterschool University, led by my colleague Michael Sanchez, the Director.
Drop-in Day: New! Please write to us first at Bethpaints@gmail.com to see if there are any drop-in spaces for the week you need. We will let you know if there is space and give the “go-ahead” to register.
Cancellation Policy: If you need to withdraw from your chosen camp week, we require 21 days’ notice and offer a 50% refund of your camp tuition, less PayPal fees. If you withdraw within the 21-day window, you will not receive a refund.
Changing Your Week Policy: If you need to change your week, we require 21 days’ notice; otherwise, we charge a $200 fee. Within the 21-day window, there is no refund.
Our Covid Policy: During the summer months of camp, I take extra precautions to prevent contracting Covid, including wearing a mask indoors and dining outdoors. Please ensure that your child is well before sending him or her to camp; this is vitally important to protect the health and welfare of the other students, my assistant, and myself. In the unlikely event that there is an outbreak of COVID-19, and I become ill and unable to teach, camp will close until I recover. There will be no refunds of tuition.
