Crooked Tree Arts Center is a nonprofit arts center running summer camps for kids and teens at its Traverse City and Petoskey locations, taught by professional teaching artists. Sessions range from week-long camps to shorter workshops, with campers exploring a variety of art forms; past Traverse City themes have included clay studio work, art inspired by food, projects on Northern Michigan water resources, and STEAM camps run with partners such as North Sky Raptor. Specific age bands and daily hours are not published on the camps page — one example camp is offered for grades K-3 — so confirm details before registering.

We list only what the camp itself publishes, and programs change — dates, prices, ages and availability can all move after we check. Confirm the details on the camp’s own website and contact Crooked Tree Arts Center - Traverse City directly before you register or pay. Last checked August 2026.
