Weekly ProjectsEach week students will explore an array of different mediums. We work really hard to make sure students are learning, exploring art and enjoying themselves. Everything project has variations available to suit all ages, so do not worry if the image looks too hard for your child. We have been in business for 12 years now, and are dedicated to making summers special!

We are licensed by the state and are always keeping up to date with guidelines. It's been a tough few years for the children and we want this summer to really be about the joy of creating. If your child doesn't want to take part in a certain image, we will give them another option. We never want to see a camper unhappy and are always very accommodating. All you need to do is tell us! So lets have a wonderful summer together, creating memories and works of art to treasure.Choose from full-day or half-day weeks or individual days. We have a teen drop-in option and projects for all ages. The Giggling Pig is a fully licensed day camp by the State of Connecticut. This requires us to obtain each child's health records. Either use ours, or bring in a copy of your child's school medical form. PLEASE NOTE: Each child MUST BE registered prior to camp start date. PAYMENT IS DUE AT TIME OF REGISTRATION. THERE ARE NO REFUNDS ON CAMP. Camp is non transferable. (Thank you for your understanding!)

LIMITED SEATS

In today’s digital world, media literacy has never been so important. Learning how to tell stories and produce digital content is a skill set required by us all. Not only will children learn about storytelling, old special effects, and filmmaking, but they will also experience  the artistic side of the business, which we at the Giggling Pig continue to nurture and cherish in all our programs. Here at The Giggling Pig students will receive a brief history of filmmaking before producing their very own short animated movie.

Every year we host our authors workshop. It is one of our most popular weeks and always sells out fast! Please do not wait! We cannot open to more students once sold out. Students pick their own theme and we work on characters and illustrations. Our teachers help with typing and spelling so we do not have an age limit.

Once you have your book, you are able to order additional copies.

There is not a specific day for each slime type, as we will create depending on campers so do not worry! Campers can also pick out which ceramic they wan to paint.

Mega Bugs 

This is going to be an exciting wee for all our bug lovers! Working with all kinds of materials this week, campers will design and construct their very own giant bugs! There are no days listed this week with our images as each day students will be working towards their own designs. There is no pressure for campers to create a certain type of bug or even to make more than one. Campers can construct bugs to their liking and be as detailed as they want. We will also use paints this week - so as always - dress for a mess!

Can I make up a day if my child is sick?

Are there refunds on camp?

We do not offer refunds on summer camp.
Summer camp purchases, MUST be used by the end of the summer.  Classes cannot be used towards anything other than what they are purchased for. Example, you cannot apply summer camps towards art lessons or gifts. One of our main reasons for not offering refunds is: We are a small business! We are an art business. Art supplies are ordered in advance for every student. We train and staff our camps, and invest a lot of money into being licensed, having a Dr on call should we need one and making sure every child has the best possible camp experience. Thank you for your understanding.
