Escape from the heat this summer with the Acadiana Center for the Arts' Summer Camps for Kids! With all-day sessions for graphic design, music, fashion design, drawing and painting, AcA's summer camps are a cool way for kids and teens to pass those hot summer days.

You won't find cotton balls and popsicle sticks at CitySmarts Arts & Science Camp, but you will learn about the this year's theme of sound. All activities are designed to help campers develop an awareness and understanding of the many kinds of sound and sources of sound that surround us. Activities will be approached through the eyes and ears of scientists and artists, blending their experiences into a creative and challenging adventure.

Teens can get in on the fun too with AcA's Summer Arts Intensives for ages 15–17, designed to give students an in-depth study in many areas of the arts. Participants gain insight about the skills necessary to work in a particular field of the arts. Camps include documentary filmmaking, architecture, graphic design and fashion design.

And don't forget our Arts Studios including The Music In You camp June 12–14 for ages 6–9 and July 31–Aug 2 for ages 10–14. There is a musician in everyone ready to be discovered, learn how to express your ideas and emotions through music and create your own songs. We will be recording our music and designing artwork for CD covers and T-shirts…with a final performance to top it all off!

Beat the heat and have a cool summer at the AcA!
