Spring Break Art Camps at the Goode Family Visual Arts School have returned for 2026! Read on to learn more about the creative camps for kids ages 6-10 and register today to save their space!

StoryLab: Drawing Stories to Life

Ages 6-10
Instructed by Barbara Schlegel

Throughout the week, campers will invent characters, explore story adventures, and bring their ideas to life through drawing, painting, clay, and simple bookmaking.

Each day includes a blend of art-making, storytelling and movement to help children stay focused, energized, and open to ideas. Gentle stretching, imaginative movement, and breathing games are woven into the day to help bodies settle, ideas flow, and creativity feel fun and natural.

Children are guided step by step while being encouraged to follow their own instincts and interests. By the end of the week, each child will leave with a collection of original artwork, a picture-based story map, a clay figure and a finished handmade storybook.

$285 members
$315 non-members

REGISTRATION IS NOW CLOSED.

Cancellation Policy

If Art Camp is cancelled by the Hermitage Museum, we will issue a full refund. No refunds will be issued for any reason; however, if your child is unable to attend camp for any reason such as illness, exposure to illness, schedule changes, etc. and the Hermitage Museum & Gardens is given advance notice, the museum will make its best effort to get the spot filled by a camper on the waitlist. If the spot is filled by another camper, a refund will be issued minus a $10 processing fee.
