For over 72 years Cranbrook has offered the community the opportunity to share in the Booth family's vision to develop and nurture the creative and performing arts. Founded upon the principle that all young people can benefit and enrich their lives from exposure to music and art, the summer music and arts camps at Cranbrook have long been a treasured part of the Schools' programming and community outreach.
The unparalleled legacy of Arts and Crafts exploration on Cranbrook campus is celebrated and expanded in the Summer Art Studio Day Camp. Students learn classic art forms like drawing, composition, painting and sculpture, and also expand their horizons into leading edge media such as collage, computer design, and photographic techniques.
True to Cranbrook's earliest traditions celebrating the joys of scholarship, the Young Authors Day Camp was established to encourage exploration of language crafts in a truly fun environment.
