Summer Camps

Summer Art Camp takes place at Moravian University’s South Campus, located at 346 Main St. Bethlehem, PA 18018. Construction on the new ArtsQuest Creative Factory powered by PPL began in 2025, with an expected opening date in the fall of 2026! Our new facility will provide improved and expanded facilities for camps and year-round programs. Click here for more information about the ArtsQuest Creative Factory and other exciting projects.

During construction, we are thankful for our community partners who have provided us with spaces to offer camps and year-round classes. Visit the class page for more information.

ArtsQuest’s Summer Art Camp gives you the choice of signing up for a full day or half day of camp. It also gives busy parents the option to extend the camp day with Early Drop-Off or Extended Hours.

In 2026, there will be seven weeks of ArtsQuest’s Summer Art Camp. Camp runs Monday through Friday, except for weeks 1 and 4, which are shortened.

Each week of camp will give campers entering Grades K-5 a variety of art experiences. In a full day at camp, they will discover new materials and techniques that our Teaching Artists specialize in, and they will make 2D and 3D projects that connect back to that week’s theme. Our weekly themes are a jumping off point for Teaching Artists and campers—at ArtsQuest Summer Art Camp we encourage children to express themselves creatively—even if it veers off-theme!

Week 1: Portraits/Identity

Week 2: Animal Art

ArtsQuest welcomes everyone to participate in summer camp regardless of financial circumstances. Scholarship assistance is available for those who qualify based on financial need. Financial aid is awarded on a sliding scale based on need. Please submit scholarship applications no later than May 31, 2026 in order to use your scholarship towards Summer Art Camp.

If a student requests a refund more than 10 days before the beginning of the camp week, they will receive a full refund less a $25 administrative fee. No refund will be issued for student cancellations made fewer than 10 days before the start of class.

Exceptions: At ArtsQuest’s discretion, cancellations may be eligible for full or partial refund if:

• A family emergency prevents the camper from attending, which includes the sudden death, illness, or injury of a close relative or guardian.
• Camper becomes ill and is unable to attend. A doctor’s note may be required.

Please note:

• No refunds will be granted for scheduling conflicts, calendar mix-ups, or no-shows.
• No refunds will be granted to participants who leave or do not attend Summer Art Camp by their own choice.

Requests to exchange camp sessions made more than 10 days before the start of the camp week (if exchanging between camp weeks, more than 10 days before the earlier camp session) may be approved pending availability of the desired camp. An administrative fee of $25 may apply. 

Once the camp week has begun, no exchanges or switching classes will be permitted.

To request a refund or exchange, please email Aliya Brown, Visual Arts Coordinator, at abrown@artsquest.org.

ArtsQuest reserves the right to interview and use photographs taken during classes and other programs for the marketing and promotion of the Banana Factory Arts Center, without compensation. Some interviews and photographs taken during classes and workshops may be used on the ArtsQuest Creative Factory’s, ArtsQuest’s, and SteelStacks’ social media sites. Official artsquest.org media presence may include the following social networking sites: Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Instagram, and YouTube. Any parent or guardian who does not wish to have his or her child photographed is able to indicate so when completing the Emergency Contact Form.

ArtsQuest reserves the right to suspend or expel participants from the program for disruptive and/or aggressive behavior. Disruptive behavior is defined as a behavior that adversely affects the activities of a camp group. This can include, but is not limited to:

• Bullying: threatening words or actions that are intended to provoke fear
• Repeatedly wandering away from the group
• Repeated refusal to work cohesively with the group
• Destruction of property.

Disruptive behavior will result in the following actions:

• Discussion of the disruptive actions with the child, staff person involved, and Visual Arts Manager, followed by parental notification of disruptive behavior.
• Continued disruptions will result in a parent/ child conference with the Senior Director of Visual Arts & Education
• Parents will assist in problem-solving a positive solution that will be drafted into a behavior agreement signed by all parties.
• Dismissal from the program will result if the disruptive conduct continues after the behavior agreement is signed.

If a child’s behavior is aggressive or violent (hitting, kicking, biting or using any object as a weapon):

• Toward either staff or other campers, the child will be sent home immediately.
• No refund will be given when a child is sent home due to behavior issues.
• The child will not be allowed back for the rest of that week of camp, but may try to be successful at a future date.
