Arts Summer Camps in Pinellas County
Where Young Artists Enjoy Success
and Develop Their Talents
. . .
As the curtain falls on another school year, Pinellas County students and families focus on summer plans, including exciting new Arts Summer Camps. Young artists look forward to making new friends while delving into the world of visual and performing arts where they hone their skills in drawing, painting, pottery, dancing, playing music, acting, mural design, storytelling, creative writing and beyond.
Arts Summer Camps also polish valuable life skills – creative problem solving, collaborating, socializing, building self-confidence and feeling successful.
Parents know well the wisdom of keeping young ones engaged and motivated with fresh, fun projects on sultry summer days. In Pinellas County, there are so many options — something for everyone, in grades K-12.

. . .
Celebrating his 25th year with Dunedin Fine ART Center’s Summer ART Academy, Director of Youth Education Todd Still describes the program as “one of the premier arts summer camp programs in the Tampa Bay area, with some of the best artists and art educators in the area – multi-media experts with skills from painting to clay to drawing and dreaming.”
Every year, Still infuses popular themes (like Dinosaurs) with new, imaginative elements so art camps are fresh each year with updated variations.
“We continue to offer in-person summer camp experiences with a whole new lineup of groovy themes, such as Pandas and Pyramids, Shark Week’s Sharky Business (featuring big city sharks in suits, ties, laptops and briefcases), and Sloths and Snakes on Saturn. These unique and exciting combinations promote creativity and ingenuity that materialize in the students’ artwork, whether it be 3-dimensional, 2-dimensional, digital or even in a play or skit.”
