2024 PERFORMING ARTS AND VISUAL ARTS SUMMER CAMPS
Wilson Arts is excited to offer a variety of amazing summer camps. Whether it's a love for drawing, sculpting, fashion, on the stage, or behind the stage - there's a little something for everyone!
Visual arts camps will be held at the Wilson Arts Center at 204 Nash Street S.
Performing arts camps will be held in the Edna Boykin Cultural Center at 108 Nash Street NE.
Each camp is designed to be both educational AND fun, with an emphasis on exploring new skills and techniques and flexing your child’s CREATIVE muscles! We are committed to providing a safe, clean learning environment, and our experienced educators will make sure that FUN is at the heart of everything.

For those Visual Arts Camp attendees who are attending both a morning and afternoon session, we are offering a childcare option between 12:00 p.m. and 1:00 p.m. for the convenience of parents who may not have time to pick up their child in between. The cost is $25 per child for the full week. PLEASE NOTE: LUNCH IS NOT INCLUDED. You will still need to provide your child with a lunch and a drink - only childcare is provided. For full day Performing Arts Camp attendees, meals are not provided for participants, so please send them to camp with appropriate snacks and/or lunches, including drinks. Please try to avoid nut products. All ticket sales are final. Refunds are only given in the event that the organizer cancels the event.
DISNEY’S HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL JR.
Camp Performance: Friday, August 2 at 7:00 p.m.
Show Tickets: $5 per person (plus tax).
Disney Channel's smash hit movie musical comes to life on our stage in Disney’s High School Musical JR. Troy, Gabriella and the students of East High must deal with issues of love, friends and family while balancing their classes and extracurricular activities. The show’s infectious, danceable songs are sure to engage performers and audiences alike.
It’s the first day after winter break at East High. The Jocks, Brainiacs, Thespians and Skater Dudes all find their cliques. Basketball team captain and resident jock, Troy, discovers that the brainy Gabriella, a girl he met singing karaoke on his ski trip, has just enrolled at East High. The couple cause an upheaval when they decide to audition for the high school musical. Although many students resent the threat posed to the "status quo," Troy and Gabriella’s alliance might just open the door for others to shine as well.
