Summer Staycation Series: At-Home Art Camp for your Kids

By Nicole Donnelly, MK Annapolis July 16, 2020

We all love the amazing crafts our kids create. We're all missing the summer camps that were canceled. We all need something to keep our kids busy during these long, hot summer days.
Artworks Studio to the rescue!

When my kids' summer camps were canceled due to COVID-19, I'm not going to lie; I maybe panicked a little bit. Thoughts of how the heck I was going to keep my kids busy this summer while my husband and I worked consumed me. Luckily, I found Artworks Studio's at-home art camps. My kids are true budding artists and love all things artistic, so this was PERFECT for them.

So how does it work? Each registered artist will receive an Art Kit filled with all the supplies needed to complete the art lessons for the week. Lessons may include collage, painting, drawing, sculpture, and more! Daily recorded videos are emailed to the parent by the instructor for your kids to watch and create at a time good for you! Each week includes supplies for one project per day, Monday through Friday.

My mama intuition was right. My kids LOVE this camp! It's geared toward ages 6-10, but my almost-5-year-old participated with my 7-year-old and did great! We had an entire week of sea-themed art projects that included model magic sculpting, painting, coloring, zentangle, and more. The videos provided by the instructor are clear and very easy to follow. We also appreciated that we could pause the instruction if we needed extra time to complete a portion of the project.




The emails that were sent to me for my kids were SO EASY for me to follow and required very little from me. I was able to set my kids up with the video and they followed the instruction and completed their project on their own. Also worth noting: this is one of the ONLY TIMES during those days that they didn't bicker. How's that for a mom-win?

We loved our week with Artworks and snagging another is on our agenda for the rest of the summer. The kids loved the projects and my husband and I loved the end products. We especially loved that we had the supplies delivered to us... we didn't even have to depend on items we had in our own home.

We were hosted for a week of virtual art camps for the purposes of this review. All opinions are my own and are 100% honest.
