Montalvo Creates Artists In Saratoga

SARATOGA, CA -- Your kids may come home artists.

That's the sense parents may get in sending their children to Montalvo Arts Center’s Summer Camp. The program is unlike any other in the San Francisco Bay Area. But then again, it is still camp.

Classes for ages 6 through 17 in a range of artistic disciplines are sure to engage and inspire them.

All of our camps are led by professional artists active in the disciplines they are teaching. Each session focuses on responsive and relevant subject matter and seeks to introduce students to the creative process in a manner that helps them cultivate their own voice.

They will learn to flex their creative muscles in a supportive environment, as they make new friends and discover unique ways of expressing themselves - all within the natural scenery and fresh air of Montalvo's grounds.
