Stifel art camps provide exciting hands-on activities that allow each child to explore art, meet creative challenges and exercise the imagination. From painting to pottery, children explore their creativity through a variety of artistic mediums.

Campers in grades 1-7 will swim at the Wheeling Park Pool Tuesday – Thursday and will be picked up at the pool entrance. Cookouts will take place every Friday at the Stifel Fine Arts Center with hotdogs, chips, cookies and juice. Monday & Friday pick-up is 3pm at the Stifel Fine Arts Center.
