The Greatest Art Camp in the known and unknown Universe

Our primary focus is creativity and inspiring children to enjoy the arts.

Art Camp UK - Creative Holiday Clubs

Join us for a vibrant, hands-on programme of creativity, outdoor play and artist-led workshops throughout the year.

Art Camp runs during school holidays, offering children a unique opportunity to explore art, music, performance and making in a fun, supportive and inspiring environment.

A Week of Creativity and Adventure

Each Art Camp brings together a wide range of activities, which vary depending on the season but always include high-energy, engaging and creative experiences. Children take part in 3D printing and design, DJing, music production and rap workshops, filmmaking, animation and media projects, as well as pop singing and performance. Alongside these, children explore large-scale sculpture and installation work, Forest School and outdoor art, giant bubble workshops, and collaborative group projects, often contributing to ambitious builds involving many children working together. Seasonal elements such as Maypole dancing and celebration-based activities are woven into the programme throughout the year where relevant. Each day is carefully structured to balance creativity, movement and social interaction, creating a full and engaging experience.

Seasonal Themes and Special Experiences

Art Camp runs across the year, with each holiday bringing its own energy and creative focus. Spring and May camps explore nature, colour and celebration. Summer camps bring large-scale outdoor builds and festival-style creativity. October camps focus on storytelling, theatre and imaginative themes. Winter and festive camps centre around craft, design and seasonal making. Across the year, children may also experience a range of unique and memorable elements including alpacas, pygmy goats and hens, touring theatre companies and guest performers, bouncy castles and outdoor play experiences, ice cream van visits and large-scale outdoor art installations. These elements help create an environment that feels exciting, varied and completely different from standard childcare provision.

Why Art Camp

Art Camp is designed to go beyond standard holiday childcare. Children are encouraged to think creatively, work collaboratively and take part in inspiring, real-world creative activities. The combination of professional artists, varied experiences and a strong sense of energy and care creates something that feels genuinely special.

Thanks so much to the amazing team at Art Camp for making the school holidays so much fun. My children love the diverse range of activities, from circus skills to baking, discos to seeing the alpacas. The team are always so enthusiastic and friendly and I highly recommend Art Camp for kids of all ages. It's definitely the best holiday club around.

More than just a kids holiday camp!

My kids had more fun at this camp than any other in Leeds! This is the cool club for kids that love music and dance, and also art and film making. I would totally recommend this school holiday camp in Leeds, Harrogate and York.
