summer camps

Located at Brown’s Ferry Park in Tualatin, Oregon, Willowbrook Arts Camp is an award-winning outdoor summer camp for kids ages 3-18, serving the greater Portland-metro area and beyond.

Squirrel’s Nest (ages 3-4): This is where it all begins! Specifically designed for our youngest campers, the Squirrels Nest is tucked in a safe, secure area located next to The Village. More structured than our older age groups, these budding artists are guided through a variety of new and enhanced interactive activities that foster their curiosity, discovery and creative expression. Squirrels also have opportunities to participate in our special evening performances alongside fellow Villagers and Artisans!

The Village (K – 2nd Grade): A mini version of our Artisan area, The Village is a magical place, filled with age appropriate arts and nature activities – from dance and drama, to art, nature, music, pottery, puppetry, storytelling and more! Kids are encouraged to embrace their curiosity, explore new and fun interests, and discover their creative potential. Each child is assigned a ‘home tent’ and given ample free-choice time, as well as opportunities to participate in Willowbrook’s performances.

Artisan (3rd – 12th Grade): Picture the most imaginative and energetic arts festival… just for kids! Many of our campers can’t wait to become an Artisan, where their choices become even broader and more dynamic. The very open-structured environment of the Artisan area allows kids to take their self-discovery, interests, and skills to new levels. With more than 20 different artistic areas to explore, Artisan kids move freely throughout their day pursuing what interests them most, including opportunities to participate in Willowbrook’s performances.
