Philadelphia Academy of Fine Arts (PAFA)

This summer art camp is run by one of the United States' oldest fine art schools and museums — the Philadelphia Academy of Fine Arts. Kids are taught to appreciate the culture and stories behind each piece of art and the techniques to make their own art.

They learn how to paint, sketch, sculpt, and even make prints and comics. Campers also learn about different art styles and the art of the world – drawing inspiration from different cultures or periods in history.

There are sessions for kids ages 6 to 9 and 10 to 14. The cost is only a couple hundred dollars a week, and you can register for as many weeks as you like. If you're already a PAFA member, you get added discounts. They provide a summer camp experience and provide an in-depth look at visual arts that your child won't never forget.
