Craft Alliance Summer Camps

Embark on an unforgettable summer journey of creativity, self-discovery, and artistic expression! Our half-day camps are tailor-made for young minds, offering a transformative experience that fosters self-confidence and creative thinking. Guided by artist faculty, campers immerse themselves in activities like pottery on the wheel and torch-wielding artistry, ensuring an enriching learning experience.

In 2024, our Summer Camp hosted a vibrant community of over 800 campers from St. Louis, each finding inspiration and joy in the artistic realm. Building on our commitment to engaging education, our camps cater to various interests – whether sculpting with molten glass, mastering weaving, or honing pottery skills. Our professional teaching artists make learning enjoyable, ensuring your camper picks up new skills while having fun.

Beyond creating stunning works of art, our camps provide a unique outlet for critical and creative thinking. Through hands-on experiences with clay, fibers, metal, glass, and more, campers develop not just artistic prowess but also a profound appreciation for the creative process. This summer promises more than just artistic exploration; it's an opportunity for your camper to join a vibrant community, cultivate a lifelong appreciation for self-expression, and unleash their inner artist. Secure their spot for a summer filled with boundless creativity and artistic adventure!

Camps are held weekly starting June 2 through August 8, from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. and 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. Extended care is available beginning at 8:30 a.m. for morning camps and ending at 4:30 p.m. for afternoon camps.
