First Coast Cultural Center Summer Camps

2026 Theme: Up, Up, & Away!
This summer, children will explore everything that is Up, Up, and Away! Think dragons, planets, all things that fly, and more. Each week offers a different theme, and campers will explore our galleries and outdoor space, as well as new art mediums, led by professional art teachers in a peaceful, safe setting. They’ll draw, paint, build, sculpt, and more in the studios, make new friends, and build confidence!

Imagine a world where fairies, dragons, and pegasus fly in the sky! This week’s theme, Fantasy Flyers, will explore fantasy creatures and adventures that fly. Campers will draw, paint, sculpt, print, and more while learning about folklore.
