The Holland Project offers youth and teen-focused arts programming in addition to our monthly all-ages workshops. This includes crafting camps for kids and families during Washoe County school breaks, a rock-n-roll music instruction summer camp for self-identifying girls and non-binary youth, a semester-long after school meet-up for high school-aged visual artists, as well as open group exhibitions for anyone under 21 and teen-driven arts festivals.

About: Art + Game Camp combines our popular Kid Craft with Game Week and caters specifically to ages 9-13. Campers may sign up for a full day (9AM-3:30PM) or, if preferred, choose just the arts & crafts portion (9AM-12PM) or just the games portion (12:30PM-3:30PM). Different art projects will be explored each morning and a variety of contemporary tabletop board games in the afternoon. Participants may also choose the “Dungeons & Dragons” option to learn the role-playing game D&D during game camp instead of other board games.
