ART EXPLORERS (Camp Extension)

This is a Camp Extension offered by Bower separate from our morning camp. Art Explorers does not necessarily follow the theming of the morning camp.

Discover. Create. Inspire. 

Join us for Art Explorers, an exciting extended camp experience where young artists embark on creative adventures right in the heart of downtown Bedford!

Each afternoon, students will set out on walking field trips to explore the vibrant arts and culture of our community—visiting local creative spaces and non-profits. With fresh inspiration, they'll return to the Bower Center for the Arts to collaborate on dynamic projects that bring their discoveries to life!

Schedule:

• Drop-off: 12:30 PM
• Program Time: 1:00 PM – 4:00 PM
• Registration: $75 for the week

What to Expect:

• Guided field trips to uncover Bedford’s artistic and cultural gems
• Hands-on, collaborative art projects inspired by their experiences
• A chance to connect with local artists, businesses, and creative spaces
• A fun and engaging way to learn about the power of art in the community

Scholarships are available! We believe that every child should have the opportunity to explore and create—contact us to learn more.

Let your child’s creativity grow beyond the studio—sign up for Art Explorers today! 

A HUGE thank you to our Art Explorers sponsor Centra Health. Their generous support makes Art Explorers possible, giving young artists the chance to discover, create, and be inspired by the world around them. Because of Centra Health, our campers get to experience the magic of art, community, and hands-on creativity—an opportunity that wouldn’t be possible without their generosity! 

Thank you, Centra Health, for investing in the next generation of artists and dreamers!
