We are thrilled to offer an exclusive Teen<\/strong> summer programs at the Waverly South Charlotte Studio!<\/p>\n

For students craving a catered camp experience with an older vibe, our Teen Master Camps<\/strong> offer a limited number of dedicated camp seats for ages 11\u201315. These camps feature intentional groups tailored for deeper focus, longer work time, growing independence, and developing technique, ensuring older artists remain challenged, confident, and at home in the studio.<\/p>\n

Designed for rising 7th – 12th graders, our Teen Apprentice Program<\/strong> is an immersive mentorship and internship-style experience\u00a0 perfect for teens passionate about visual arts, creativity, leadership, arts education, and entrepreneurship. If your teen loves making art, inspiring others, and working in a collaborative studio, this program is for you!<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/6″][\/vc_column][\/mk_page_section][mk_page_section bg_color=”#f7f7f7″ speed_factor=”0″ video_opacity=”0″ min_height=”600″ js_vertical_centered=”true” sidebar=”sidebar-1″][vc_column width=”1\/6″][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”2\/3″][vc_empty_space height=”40px”][vc_custom_heading text=”Master Camps” font_container=”tag:h2|text_align:center” use_theme_fonts=”yes” css_animation=”slideInRight” css=””][vc_empty_space height=”10px”][vc_column_text margin_bottom=”0″ css=”.vc_custom_1782323357596{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}”]For students craving a catered camp experience with an older vibe, the <\/span>Teen Master Camp<\/b> offers a limited number of dedicated camp seats for ages 11\u201315. These camps feature intentional groups tailored for deeper focus, longer work time, growing independence, and developing technique, ensuring older artists remain challenged, confident, and at home in the studio.<\/span><\/p>\n

Offered in the 1-4 p.m. time frame on select weeks. Returning campers receive unique projects and techniques each week. Drop-off: mixed ages 11-15.\u00a0 NUT FREE snack provided.<\/span><\/p>\n

Our mixed-media Art Camps educate, inspire & entertain. We offer a wide range of project topics and supplies that will spark creativity & expose students to a stimulating mix of age-appropriate art techniques each day.\u00a0 Painting, drawing, sculpture, printmaking, chalk pastel, oil pastel, collage & more!<\/span><\/p>\n

Our pottery camps allow each maker to experience the entire process, beginning with wet clay and ending with kiln-fired ceramic pieces. They will learn about the history of pottery making and utilize skills like rolling coils, building slabs, & pressing textures to create detailed and more technical pottery. Each student will try their hand at throwing on the wheel as well!<\/span><\/p>\n

If your family needs to register for FULL DAY camp but your teen wants to be included in the Master Camp Age grouping for their afternoon session, simply enroll in the Full Day camp option for the corresponding date range instead of the 1\/2 day Master Camp registration.<\/span><\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][mk_button size=”large” url=”https:\/\/www.smallhandsbigart.com\/south-charlotte\/camp-schedule\/#1745940108212-b3213be3-26b6″ target=”_blank” align=”center” bg_color=”#ce73a7″]FULL DAY CAMPS[\/mk_button][vc_empty_space height=”15px”][vc_column_text align=”center” css=”.vc_custom_1782322453430{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}”]\n
