Port Angeles Fine Art Center
Each year, we offer two weeks of summer camp for students ages 7-12 integrating art, STEAM principles, nature exploration, and outdoor fun. Students can join for a half or full day depending on the sessions they are interested in. Through our outdoor classroom, students learn about working as a team in a small group setting, gain new art skills, and engage in structured activities on our trails that explore our environment and park.
2026 Cost Per Session: $180 PAFAC Members | $205 General Public | Additional Child discount- $10 off when registering a second child for the same camp.
You can sign up for all four camps over the two weeks, or pick and choose one or two that work best for you. Once you decide which camps you want, follow the registration links to submit your information, pay, and reserve your spot for Summer Art Camp 2026.

Find artistic inspiration from Webster's Woods and the natural world around you! Campers will gain knowledge of the unique aspects of the Olympic Peninsula as they engage in team building activities, hands-on learning about plant and animals, and create nature-inspired 2D and 3D artworks. As an annual offering this session is always a favorite with new topics and projects every year!
Taking inspiration for our "Living Worlds" exhibit, on display during this week, we will explore the process of using living things as our medium for creating works of art. From bonsai and terrariums to nature fashion, we will be investigating all the creative possibilities when we use natural materials as our starting point for inventive design.
We will explore what it means to thoughtfully create playful, abstract designs. We'll learn about the many abstract sculptures in Webster's Woods and how nature can be interpreted into simple lines and pops of color whimsy to create a visually bold piece of art. We'll also connect to themes of self expression and how art can be a way of communication these important feelings.
Learn all about the art and science of creative cartography! We will explore the basics of what nature mapping is, build own own maps, do some orienteering, and create a Geocache for Webster's Woods. We'll delve into all of the imaginative and innovative ways to represent the world around us.
