Artichoke Art Studio offers a girls’ summer sleepaway camp with week-long sessions set in the beautiful mountains of West Virginia. Spend your days surrounded by food, fun, animals, nature, and of course, endless opportunities to create art.
Our camp is a creative incubator for young artists, providing a safe, nurturing environment where inquisitive minds and unique personalities can thrive. Nestled in tranquil forests and scenic mountain views, campers are immersed in a setting that inspires imagination and exploration.
Each day is centered around art. We work with a wide range of mediums through both plein-air (outdoor) and indoor projects, balanced with plenty of breaks for meals, play, and moments of pure summer joy.
Our time together includes very limited time with very limited electronic devices: enjoy nature, art, and friendships.
