Artscope's Camp Create is a screen-free summer art day camp at the organization's cottage in Tower Grove Park, St. Louis, for children entering 1st–6th grade. Campers work with experienced teaching artists on weekly themed, hands-on projects spanning painting, sculpture, storytelling, and building, plus outdoor nature exploration and art made from natural and recycled materials. The camp runs across the summer with optional aftercare.

★★★★★Loren MoodyThis is our first year navigating the summer camp scene and we’re trying out any number of recommended camps. Artscope is 100% on our list of must-dos next summer. I wish I’d have signed my son up for more sessions this year! I hesitate to call anyone there a “counselor” because all the staff I interacted with were teachers. Every single one was kind, communicative and prepared to have a great time with a huge range of kids, ages and personalities. Special thanks to Moira for the special care they showed my son (and me!) this week! Cannot recommend highly enough! They’re wonderful! You’re all great!
★★★★★Emily HudsonMy child LOVES going to Artscope everyday during the Summer. She comes home with tons of unique creations in her backpack which makes me feel so happy knowing that her artistic itch is being scratched. Thank you to everyone at Artscope!
★★★Adam SmithArtscope has a great mission and would likely be a good fit for your child if they are neurotypical, but be knowledgeable if your child is neurodiverse. The leadership and inclusivity statement are very promising, but in the end, our child will be in contact with the counselors the most, and as of 2023, they are not professionally trained in how to deal with ND kids, even for "mild" cases. Your kid may end up getting punished for being who they are. "My brother has autism and I have ADHD" is not the same as in-depth training. Again, this is a great organization, and I don't mean to throw shade. For most kids it will be a superb experience, but for the large minority of ND kids, you should talk to the counselors beforehand.
