Midtown Kids Art Camp

Redeemer celebrates the arts in our community, delighting in the beauty brought forth in our world through the work of artists’ hands. We are the work of the ultimate creator and exist as mini co-creators and cultivators of beauty. Camp Create provides opportunity for children to develop a love and understanding of their own role in making our world beautiful.

This four day summer art camp is for rising 1st through 3rd grade students who reside in or attend school in Midtown Memphis. Monday through Thursday, children receive formal art instruction with professional local artists and enjoy music, games, snacks, and more. We wrap up Thursday evening with Create Fest, a big block party to celebrate everything we created!

Several paper cups filled with colorful crayons on a blue table, some cups are decorated with children's drawings.
