Holiday Camps

We currently run holiday camps from primary schools in St Albans and Harpenden, during the Easter and Summer holidays and in the school half-term breaks in February, May and October.

Our camps run from 9.30am to 3.30pm and children are guided through a different art project each day. Typically bookings are for 2-day camps with children working on a canvas painting on the first day and a large watercolour on the second.

Most of the children that attend our camps are primary school aged but older children up to 12 are welcome if they would like to attend.  The projects allow for a range of skill sets with older children able to develop their painting further if they wish to.

Our holiday camps are very popular so it is advisable to book as soon as you can to secure a place. We also recommend ​subscribing to ArtShed’s Newsletter to get all the latest camp details via your inbox.

ArtShed’s holiday camps provide an excellent opportunity for children to spend more time working on a piece of artwork and developing their artistic skills in a structured environment. Above all we aim to make our camps fun, so there’s plenty of playtime and the chance to make new friends too!

Poppy loved her two days. She especially liked painting a picture of 2 foxes in a wood on canvas. She – and we – are immensely proud of her first piece of art work. This was her first time. She wants to go again.

Both my children aged 5 & 7 absolutely loved the two days they were there. They produced some fantastic pieces of art and learnt many new skills. We will definitely be signing them up again.
