EDUCATION PROGRAMS OVERVIEW

Laumeier offers a range of education programs that engage participants of all ages in art and nature. Programs are taught by local, experienced Artist-Instructors and are designed to encourage artistic development and self-expression. Small group sizes provide participants with individual attention; projects are designed to allow participants the freedom to explore their own potential and creativity. Materials are always provided!

Laumeier's education programs are designed for audiences with diverse interests in art, creativity, nature, recreation and more.

  • Summer Art Camps for ages 3 to 18 are structured to encourage artistic development and self-expression through social interaction and individual skill-building experiences.

  • Little Buds for ages 3 to 6 is an outdoor, half-day program. Young artists experience art and nature through hands-on play and exploration of the Park. Activities include seasonal art projects, trail walks, creek exploration, loose parts play, building structures, reading, group games, and sketchbook time. 

  • One-day workshops and multi-day Clay Classes for youth, teens and adults are designed to provide participants with the freedom to explore their own potential and creativity. Participants work at their own level and pace with guided instruction for skill improvement.

  • Family Workshops are a collaborative way for families to spend quality and creative time together. Children—along with a favorite grownup!—explore art and nature, develop a meaningful bond and create memories to last a lifetime.

  • Night Out workshops encourage adult participants to combine self-expression with relaxation in a fun, social atmosphere! A bottle of wine and some clay make for a great night out!

  • Makers Nights feature a different local artist or arts organization for an evening of art-making for teens and adults.

  • Opening Minds Through Art (OMA) is an award-winning, research-based, intergenerational art program for people living with dementia.

  • STEAM at LAUMEIER is a unique, full-day experience that gets students out of the classroom and into a naturally creative  environment, sparking their imagination and helping them become more innovative, multi-disciplinary thinkers.
