Join us at the coolest, most creative arts facility around for innovative learning, performance, and exhibition experiences for aspiring Southwest Florida artists, musicians, fashion designers and enthusiasts of the culinary arts at our Creative Academy Summer Camps 2026! 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.

Strike a chord this summer in our Jazz Ensemble camp, where students will explore the vibrant world of jazz through collaboration, creativity, and performance. Designed for musicians of varying skill levels, this camp focuses on improvisation, rhythm, and ensemble playing while building confidence and musical expression. Students will work closely with our instructor to learn classic jazz styles, develop their individual sound, and experience the excitement of making music as a group. The week concludes with a live performance, giving campers the chance to showcase their talents for friends and family.
