Summer is a wonderful time at COCA! Our Arts Camps for kids and teens—in dance, drama, poetry, sculpture, songwriting, videography and much more—are taught in an instructive and encouraging environment by professional teaching artists who care about both their craft and their campers.

This year, we are pleased to announce a longer camp day—hopefully providing a little more flexibility for parents, plus even more time for your campers to learn and experience new things, build their skills and—most importantly— have fun! As always, we have a wide variety of half- and full-day camps, a supervised lunch period, and Before and After Care, so you can build a day that works best for your family.
