Pottery camps give kids a weeklong (or longer) immersion in this creative art form.
Arts camps let kids explore their artistic side in different creative activities.
STEAM camps combine arts with science, technology, math, and engineering, bridging these disciplines and helping artistically oriented kids deepen or develop an appreciation for these headier spheres of learning.
It’s also worth noting that there are March break camps and PA day camps that teach pottery and other fun topics.
Here’s a preview of how kids benefit from a pottery class:
They engage motor skills and tactility. Pottery is fun for the hands and the mind! It gives kids a healthy outlet to pound, pinch, poke, squeeze, bend, and tear clay as they shape it into artwork they envision.
It gives them a needed creative outlet. They imagine something and then go step-by-step to create the vision they have in their mind. It can be an important early lesson in exploring creativity. It gets them away from the passivity of screens and gaming.
They develop social skills and other important traits. Pottery classes give them a free-form place to interact with others their age. They also grow more independent. Learn more about how kids grow personally through programs and camps.
We offer a longer list of seven benefits of pottery camps.

2. How big is the class and how much individual attention is given to each child? (What’s the ratio of teachers to students?)
3. How much experience do teachers have in pottery and teaching? (What are their qualifications? What training do leaders have?)
4. How do they deal with discipline in the class? (Do they teach equipment safety? Have they had any experience with bullying?)
