Bay Area Art Camps & Classes

At Dragonfly Designs, our art camps offer more than fun—they’re about real growth. Each day, children dive into hands‑on projects that spark curiosity, boost confidence, and sharpen fine‑motor, problem‑solving, and self‑expression skills. Our nurturing, small-group environment ensures every child receives expert guidance from our passionate instructors.

By the end of each week, campers don’t just take home beautiful art—they leave inspired, empowered, and connected, with new artistic tools and a sense of personal achievement. We partner with local schools and parks across the Bay Area to bring this enriching experience closer to home.

Join us this summer and help your child discover their creative voice, make lasting friends, and build lifelong skills in a supportive and joyful setting!

Frequently Asked Questions

Our wonderful Summer Camps are offered through several Bay Area schools and Parks and Recreation departments. Please contact Stacee at stacee@dragonflyfun.com and include your general location to be placed on the proper distribution lists!

Each camp will have a prescribed age range. You can find this information when registering.

A full-day Summer Camp runs from 9am-3pm. Please check your specific camp to confirm.

Here is a sample schedule:

  • 9:00-9:45am: Welcome + Friendship-Building Games (community-building, name games, icebreakers, collaborative play)
  • 9:45-10:00am: Snacks + Camp Agreements (healthy snack, review expectations, safety, kindness, clean-up norms)

  • Please dress your child in comfortable clothes that are appropriate for movement and “making a creative mess.” We also recommend layers, as the weather in the Bay Area can be unpredictable. 
  • Pack a bagged lunch, healthy snacks, and a water bottle to camp each day. Note: Camp is a NUT-FREE ZONE.
  • Bring sunscreen, hats, and jackets for outdoor play.
  • Label any prescription medication and provide clear instructions to staff.
  • Label all removable, personal belongings.

Our Lead Camp counselors are permanent year-round employees of Dragonfly Designs who teach in our afterschool enrichment programs and host art parties. Our wonderful staff are college educated and comply with California standards for working on school campuses including TB testing and background checks through the DOJ and FBI.

Our student-teacher ratio does not exceed 12:1 and is often much lower.

When registering through a local school or Parks and Recreation department, please contact them to cancel or change your plans.

For any program offered through Dragonfly Designs, we do not issue cash refunds, as we purchase supplies and procure staff in advance. We appreciate your cooperation!

  • In the event of cancellation, we will refund your payment, less the camp cancellation fee of 20% of the total cost, as a studio credit if we are notified in writing 30 days prior to the start of camp. Please email stacee@dragonflyfun.com to cancel. 
  • Credits can be used on any Dragonfly Designs service or product and are transferable to other accounts.

Need to change your camp or class date?

  • Transfers to a new week of camp will incur a $15 administrative change fee.
  • Change requests for other program dates must be emailed to stacee@dragonflyfun.com at least 7 days prior to your original program’s start date.
  • All changes are subject to availability.
  • Early bird special rates are forfeited upon request to transfer.

Other Policies:

  • We do not prorate or refund tuition for days missed due to illness or injury.
  • Any returned checks or payments incur a $20 fee. 
  • In the rare case Dragonfly Designs has to cancel a camp, we will schedule a make-up opportunity.
