Blue Jayne Studio owner Mariah Desatoff has crafted a series of week-long art camps to keep children's creativity alive during the summer months. Held in Kamas, these themed sessions cater to kids aged 5 to 14, blending indoor and outdoor activities. Additionally, Desatoff plans various other creative programs such as a summer art club, kid’s night out, themed birthday parties, and workshops for adults.

The camp themes range from famous artists to nature-inspired creations, offering diverse experiences for young participants. The studio also provides unique opportunities for parents, allowing them leisure time while their children engage in artistic exploration. Furthermore, Desatoff extends her passion for art through adult workshops including enameling, watercolor painting, and more.

Engaging Themes for Young Artists

Each week-long camp focuses on distinct themes designed to inspire creativity among children. From exploring famous artists to crafting dream decor, these sessions aim to provide a well-rounded artistic experience. Activities are thoughtfully planned to utilize both indoor spaces and the studio's outdoor area, ensuring an immersive environment.

Mariah Desatoff meticulously chose each theme to ensure uniqueness and engagement. For instance, the Nature Art session leverages the studio's outdoor setting, encouraging kids to incorporate natural elements into their creations. Moreover, the Tinker Workshop caters to budding builders and engineers, utilizing recycled materials to spark imagination. This approach not only fosters creativity but also instills eco-consciousness. By involving current students in the planning process, Desatoff ensures that the camps resonate with the interests of today's youth, making each session an exciting adventure.

Art Beyond Camps: Expanding Creative Horizons

Beyond the summer camps, Blue Jayne Studio offers additional programs to enrich the community's cultural life. These include a weekly summer art club for elementary school-aged children, a Kid’s Night Out event for parents seeking date night options, and themed birthday parties. Such initiatives reflect Desatoff's commitment to fostering a vibrant art scene in Kamas.

In addition to children's programs, the studio caters to adults with a variety of workshops. Participants can explore beginner enameling, watercolor painting, barn quilts, hat embellishing, block printing, and silk scarf painting. These classes promise hands-on learning and tangible results, leaving attendees with completed projects they can cherish. Desatoff emphasizes convenience by scheduling camps in the morning, enabling parents to enjoy lunch with their children afterward. Furthermore, the proximity of recreational spots near Kamas allows parents to indulge in personal hobbies or relaxation during camp hours. Through these efforts, Blue Jayne Studio aims to create a balanced, enriching summer experience for families and individuals alike.
