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 Drop-in 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 11.
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. Drop-in Day payment is located below week 11.
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.
