2022 Summer Camps
Camps for Pre-School & Grade School
This summer, have your child experience the arts by enrolling in Portland Metro Arts’ summer camps! Camps are great opportunity for children to explore their creativity and artistic passion, in depth, that school year schedules may not allow. Our camps are exciting, educational, engaging and above all FUN! In PMA’s summer camp program, kids learn about, perform and experience an extensive variety of art forms. We offer camps focusing on dance, music, theatre, visual arts or a combination with multi-arts; unlike other programs dedicated to a single discipline with few options. Those new to PMA can discover a new passion. If you like it, sign up for our classes this Fall.
We offer several week-long, all day, camps for children in Grades 1-6. Full Day Camps run from 9:00am-4:00pm, Monday-Friday, with a supervised lunch break.
Half Day Morning camps run from 9:00am-Noon with Half-Day Afternoon camps from 1:00pm-4:00pm.Workshops for Middle School, High School & Adults
Our in-depth Summer Workshops allow older students to continue to engage and improve in their chosen art form. All current upper division PMA students and those who receive their training elsewhere are welcome and encouraged to enroll. Guest Artists, who are working professionals, will be on staff to bring the latest information and trends to the students.
Space is limited, so be sure to register early. Registration is on a first-come, first-served basis. If the blue “Register” link does not appear next to a listing, the camp/workshop is full. As the Summer progresses more spaces may open. So, please register for the "Waitlist" and you will be notified if a space becomes available.

*If your child is transitioning from Kindergarten to First grade in September:
Please consider whether your child is ready to fully participate in a full-day program with older students who have already completed 1st – 5th grade. There are momentous differences between a Kindergarten and a First grade classroom day. We recognize that each child matures in mental focus, physical stamina and patience at a different pace. Some children this age can do well and some would do better with a half-day or Preschool option. Take give that careful thought when enrolling.If your child is transitioning from 5th grade to Middle School in September:
Please consider whether your child is ready to fully participate in a program with older students who have already completed 6th-11th grade. There is a great transition in social , physical, emotional and intellectual maturity that comes to kids at this age. Because each child matures at a different pace, please consider whether your child would best fit with the grade school or the middle school/high school sections of the camps/workshops. You know your child best, so give that careful thought when enrolling.
