SUMMER CAMPS 2026


Hi Pals!

PLEASE READ ALL INFO BELOW BEFORE SIGNING UP FOR CAMP :)


2026 Summer Camp is finally here! 

Sign your artists up for a variety of half-day camps that include wheel throwing, hand-building, and a whole lotta’ good times!

Denver’s Best and ONLY dedicated Full Summer Pottery Camp!

Hi! We are so excited to open our 2026 Camp Registration. Our camps are half-day, adding up to 15 hours of ceramics, fun, and friends!

We focus on weekly themes - which we have LOTS of new ones this year for any repeating kiddos! The AM Handbuilding class follows the weekly themes pretty closely, while in the AM/PM Wheel camps, the themes are a jumping off point and a way for kids to anchor into their ideas. Kids are always encouraged to think creatively, indivudally, and add their own style to their work!

Artists will craft fun sculptural projects like circus tents, fairy houses, lucky horseshoes and even K-POP Demon Hunter projects! They will also make functional work such as cups, bowls, and plates that they will treasure for years to come. This could be the start of a career as a famous potter, a place to meet other creative kiddos, or just a heckuva’ fun summer camp!

Bonus! Clay is literally the best screen-free activity! Wet clay fingerprints on a phone screen is a real bummer, trust us! Our community based studio provides an amazing and supported environment for kids to truly connect with themselves, their work and other artists!


Morning Session: Half Day Handbuilding Camp 6-10yrs old

9:00am - 12:00pm - option to stay for lunch if attending another Stanley Camp

$350/week

AGE REQUIREMENT : Must be at least 6. No exceptions.

*we love your littler artists, and they are welcome with a parent for open studio when it’s offered (see Open Studio). After many years of running clay camps, we are confident that both the skill levels and focus required for a 3 hour clay camp is best suited for kiddos who have completed Kindergarten.

NEW! Small Group Morning Session : Half Day Wheel Throwing Camp

9:30am - 12:30pm - option to stay for lunch if attending another Stanley Camp

$385/week

AGE REQUIREMENT : Must be 10-14 year of age. No exceptions.

We are thrilled to offer Wheel Throwing camps in the morning now too! This is a small group session, capped at 6 students. Lots of 1:1 time with our amazing instructors and more time to explore all their clay creativity!

Afternoon Session: Half Day Wheel Throwing Camp 10-14 years

1pm - 4pm - option to come up to the studio from 1230-1, after lunch at morning camp

$385/week

AGE REQUIREMENT : Must be 10-14 year of age. No exceptions.

One of the most popular art camps in Denver (yes, really!), as we are the only studio to offer wheel throwing camps to kids!

This camp is equal parts clay learning and making pals. Middle school can be a tough age to make connections with new friends. With this being a screen-free, clay focused camp, we find kids quickly connect and are comfortable chatting, while those little hands are busy creating! We truly have had many lasting friendships come out of these camps :)


Is there a scholarship program available? YES!

Please fill out this form if you are interested in your child receiving a scholarship to this camp.

We will be awarding 12 FULL RIDE spots!!
