School Year Camps - Registration Open

At Illumination Learning Studio, we provide camps through-out the school year for students currently enrolled in our Cultural Arts Classes as well as for students who are not enrolled in our programs. Camps are a great way for new students to experience our cultural arts, performing and creative arts classes at ILS.

School Year Camps run from 9:00-4:00pm, with options to extend Before and After camp.  The following is a list of our School Year Camps for the current season:

January 17 (Martin Luther King Jr. Day):
Lego Adventures

Before you wreck-it, you have to build it, and our Lego Adventures camp will have your camper doing just that! Join us on a day full of brick building, construction challenges and team designing. Lego Adventurers will learn the history of Legos, architecture, how buildings and Brick cities are constructed and, of course, demolition!

January 27 (Day Between Semesters):
Pallet Town – Level Up!

Traveling from Pallet Town to Wyndon, learn about the evolutions of your favorite characters, from trading cards, video games, tv shows and mobile apps, and create your personalized trading card.

February 21-25 (Mid-Winter Break):
Exploring Abstract Expressionism

Learn about some of the most influential abstract expressionist painters of all time! This week-long camp will cover Mark Rothko, Barnett Newman, Willem de Kooning, Kandinsky, and of course, Jackson Pollock. Students will learn about the history of the artists within this engaging movement, and also get the opportunity to create their own paintings resembling each featured artist’s work. Students will learn how to express themselves through nonrepresentational works of art while allowing themselves to freely create. This is a great chance to get kids out of their comfort zone and try new methods of producing abstract visual arts.

April 11-15 (Spring Break):
Decades Camp

Dressing up each day in period-attire is ENCOURAGED. During this week we’ll explore the artistic, historic and cultural contributions of the 1930s, 1950s, 1970s, 1990s. Time-travelers will learn various art forms, dance styles and fashion.

October 8 (SPS Teacher’s Work Day):
Return to Hogwarts 

Young witches and wizards are invited to attend our Return to Hogwarts camp. Our young magical friends will be sorted into their Hogwarts House and assigned a wand to decorate and personalize. At the park, our campers will get to participate in multiple games of quidditch before finishing their day creating their own magical potions with various magical ingredients. We look forward to seeing your young witch or wizard at our magical camp.

November 22-24 (Thanksgiving Break):
Music Video Dance Camp

In this 3-day camp, kids will learn about what goes into making a small-scale music video focusing on dance and choreography. We will have choreography prepared for the kids to learn, as well as a list of potential filming locations within walking distance. Day 1 will be focused on generating ideas and beginning rehearsals (i.e. what sort of images does the song bring to mind that could be shown on B Roll? Which location matches what we’re going for?). Day 2 will be a heavy rehearsal day for the choreography, a day to discuss costuming,  capture B Roll, and a run-through at our filming location. Day 3 will be for filming and an introduction to video editing, that can be started during camp, finished and emailed to the parents after the camp ends.
