Join us at the coolest, most creative arts facility around for innovative learning, performance, and exhibition experiences for aspiring Southwest Florida artists, fashion designers and enthusiasts of the culinary arts at our Creative Edge Summer Camps 2025! The Sidney & Berne Davis Art Center is a renowned arts magnet in historic downtown Fort Myers, FL. We are excited to offer students in our community six separate week-long summer camp opportunities.
We have three diverse art camps (grouped by age from 6-17) that will develop individual skills, creativity, and teamwork during a fun-packed ‘Week At the Museum’ designed to enrich students’ visual art appreciation using a variety of mediums.
The plate is our canvas in this culinary arts camp. In our camp, the food is not just for taste, students will explore design techniques with our instructor to create visually appealing edible masterpieces. The chemistry behind cooking will be reviewed in this camp as we sample unique flavor combinations.
Fashion camp offers a unique opportunity for students inspired by the art of fashion and is tailored to suit aspiring designers from beginner to advanced levels. The final day of camp ends with students exhibiting their designs in a runway style showcase for friends and family. This camp is proudly sponsored by Goodwill Industries of SWFL Art and Collectors Department.
Registration is open but class size is limited, so register today!
