Welcome to the Oxbow Summer Art Camp, a unique experience for youth ages 13-16 who love art. At Oxbow, we don’'t do busy craft projects. We give campers to excellent instruction in the fundamentals of a variety of mediums and then provide them the opportunity to design and create their own projects. Campers return home with concrete evidence of their progress and the realization that they are capable of making great art.

While summers at Oxbow are devoted to camp and the adult institute, during the school year we are a very unique "semester" school.

For the past 9 years the Oxbow School has been offering a one-semester, visual arts-based program for high school juniors and seniors nationwide. Oxbow is built on the belief that active involvement in the arts fosters flexible thinking and creative problem-solving skills that will serve students in all their future pursuits.

A new and powerful model for the education of young people through immersion in the visual arts and interdisciplinary academics, The Oxbow School is the only institution of its kind in the nation. Likewise, the Oxbow Summer Art Camp is also one-of-a-kind.
