Summer Camp at
Spruce Forest Artisan Village
Join us for one or all six of our amazing summer camps here in the heart of the Grantsville Arts & Entertainment District!
Each week will feature a new theme with new projects, activities, games, special guests, and more! Each camp will run Monday through Thursday from 9am until 2pm. Each camper will be provided a light snack in the morning and a packed lunch. When we aren’t eating, we will be learning, playing, creating, and exploring. Oh what fun we will have!
Registration is $175 and $125 for add-on siblings. Classes are limited to 15 students with one instructor, background checked, and one helper. Any student, ages 8 (by the week the camp of their choosing starts) to 12, is welcome to attend!
*** Due to schedule conflicts some changes may be made to the artisan or guest lineup without notice, however advertised course curriculum will remain the same. ****
