Summer
Choice, Quality and Value!!! There are more Artzone Summer Art Camps than ever this year. Our teachers have developed two new portfolios starting with ‘Music Mania’ for the Senior groups and ‘Dragons, Princesses & Vikings’ for the junior group in July. Both groups are exploring two very diverse portfolios in August on a ‘Rumble in the Jungle’ theme. Each portfolio includes a full range of art, crafts, stories and related games.
Camps from €99 (before family discounts). You will also notice we have brought our fees down by up to 20% per child since 2008. And …. if you enjoy July and want to come back for August we will give you a further €10 off!
All Camps run from 10am – 2pm
- Early Drop off available in Taney, Castleknock and Malahide.
- After hours care available in Castleknock and Malahide

Hi Could you tell me if the art camps are suitable for a 13 year old that your running in the Riverbank in Newbridge in the summer thanks
Hi Eimear, We dont have a teenage camp as such in Newbridge or Naas. The closest teen camp is in The RUA RED Art Centre in Tallaght. If your child is still in Primary School the camps in Newbridge or Naas would still suit them. Regards,
Paul
Hi, i am interested in sending my 8 year old daughter to an art camp, but im living in Thurles Co. Tipperary. Do ye come as far down as us? or could you recommend someone to me? Thanks
Sorry Helena,
We currently only operate in Dublin, Kildare, Meath and Wicklow. We are working on a franchise model at the moment and hope to trial two franchise areas early next year. Paul
Hi there
My daughter is 5 and starting school in Sept, she has some special needs and may require assistance getting to her seat, taking off her coat etc. I am wondering if you have the capacity in your summer camp Week 2 3rd – 6th August to deal with these issues as she loves Art.
If so could you send me details of times and costs associated with it?
Thanking you in advance
Marina
Hi Marina. We have availability at that camp. Just give us a quick call to discuss your daughters needs. Every child is different. I am sure we can sort out some arrangements. Camp times are 10am to 2pm each day. Paul
Hi,
My 13 year old daughter and her 15 year old friend did your Philip Tracy inspired camp in Taney last year and would like to go again this year. Could you please let me know if you have places in Taney in August and what Rumble in the Jungle involves?
Many thanks
Caroline Dooley
Hi Caroline,
Only the teen camp which is a ‘Band Lauch’ graphic design camp on the 12th of July would suit your daughter and her friend. It is a really cool camp designed by one of our fulltime teachers, Louise, who is our Graphic Design Specialist. Regards, Paul
hi,
i have a 6 yr old daughter going to first class on sept. she loves art, i was wondering if you still have a slot for summer class in lucan.
Hi Fred. There is literally one place left in Lucan for the summer camp. I will hold that place for you. Not everyone is paid so there will most likely be more places coming free. Regards, Paul
Hi there,
Just wondering are all elements of art….drawing, painting, 3d clay, textilee etc covered on the summer camp weeks? My nephew is nearly 12 years of age and enjoys working with clay very much.
And is there availability left on the summer camp in Taney, Dundrum from the 12th – 16th of July or the 26th – 30th July?
Thks
Hi Sinead. We design new portfolios every season. The portfolio for the senior group (8 – 12 years) is music mania this July. It is a really cool portfolio for that age group including puppetry, still life, cd design and pop star collage. Regards, Paul
All our camps cover a range of art and craft activities. The Juniors (5 – 7 years) will take on 7 – 10 mini projects. The Seniors take on 4 – 5 larger projects and the teens immerse themselves in one major project over a week.
The Senior Rumble in the Jungle includes an intricate Clay piece, still life painting, observational drawing and relief collage.
Give us a quick call to discuss the detail. Paul
Hi
My 2 daughtyers 11 & 13, might be interested in your camp in Leixlip 12th – 16th July. Is there any availability for this week.

Karen Dunne
Hi Karen,
There are places available in our Senior Group in Leixlip for the July Camp. The portfolio is based on a Music Mania theme with Puppetry, Still Life Painting, Life drawing and CD Design.
Regards,
Paul
There are places in this camp, and most of the others in July. August camps seem to have booked quicker this year. Give us a quick call to register or book online anytime. Thanks Paul
Why does it not tell the times that the art camps are on at ???But it sounds good !!!

Oh I’m so sorry !Ye i was thinking of bringing my kids to that,it sou nds great.Thanks.I have two girls,both 12,they said they wanted to do the one in clontarf.Is there still places left ?
Hi Barbara, There are just a few places left in the Clontarf August Camp. The ‘Rumble in the Jungle’ portfolio is proving really popular. Book online or just give us a quick call to secure your places. Paul
How strict are the age limits.? my daughter is 5 in December
But is starting school in Sept. we are interested in Rathfarnham camp
Thanks, melanie
Hi Melanie, Our age bands are a guide rather than hard and fast rules. If your child is ready for school in September then they should be ok in a summer camp. The junior portfolio will suit Junior Infants to 1st Class. They have a variety of art projects and plenty of time for stories, snacks and organised games. Regards, Paul
Do you have a place for a 5yr old in Naas for the July week?
Hi Audrey, There are a number of places left in the junior group at St Marys College, Naas. You can book online anytime, just give us a quick call to complete the registration process. Best regards, Paul
Do you have 3 spaces in the junior group at Taney for 9-13 Aug?
Hi Philippa,
There are indeed places in the Taney August camp. They will be working on a really cool ‘Rumble in the Jungle’ portfolio.
You can book places online anytime or give us a quick call to complete the registration process. Best regards, Paul
What are the daily times for the Junior summer camp in Killester please?
Hi Joe, All our camps run 10am – 2pm each day. There are early drop facilities in Dundrum, Castleknock and Malahide. Killester is really popular. No pressure but you would really need to book soon to get a place. Regards, Paul
Where is the phone number to contact you ? I have a couple of queries re the class in Taney next week for the week of July 26th ? Can you email me a contact number please ?
Our contact details are 01 4990614/ 4063915; 086 8159073 or info@artzone.ie. Best Regards,
Paul
Are there any places for a 14yr old in Castleknock centre 19-23rd July.
Hi Eamonn,
I am afraid that camp in Castleknock is geared for primary school children (5 – 12 years). We do have a teenage camp in The Red Stables Art Centre, Raheny starting on the 16th of August. Otherwise we are starting a teenage art group in Castleknock Parish Centre on Friday afternoons (4.45 – 6.00 pm) on Friday 17th of September. This will be a really good art programme working on 10 week projects with one of our Qualified Art Teachers. The projects are approached like Junior or Leaving Cert Projects but with a lot more fun and freedom to explore. Best regards, Paul
Hello
I would like my children to take part in your summer program which starts 9th August in Taney.
Is it possible that foreign child joins with? If possible, are they able to be together in a same class?(I am not sure yet for this whether it is good for them or not. Please tell me which way is better for them to get intergrated to other kids.)
Actually, two children, 7 and 10 years old girls, are from South Korea, have learned English for a few years so that they might be able to cope with other kids, eventhough it is not very fluent. And they are comming to dublin just before begining of the camp.
Please reply and let me know about it.
With kind regards
We get a lot of non-Irish children at the art camps. The activities are very visual with lots of visual aids and support studies. Many students produce fabulous art with little or no English. The girls would be in the same hall, but would be in separate age groups (5-7 years & 8-12 years). You could keep them together for the first day if you wish. Regards,
Paul
Hi,
I am checking availability for your 9th August summer camp at Taney. My daughter is 5. Can you tell me a little bit about the camp and how many are in each group?
Kind regards,
Emer
Hi Emer, The august camp in Taney is designed around the Rumble in the Jungle portfolio including clay work, fabric bag design, painting, ink resists etc for the junior group camp. The children will have two breaks each day which will include Jungle stories and organized games. There will be between 15 and 25 in each group. We maintain a 10:1 pupil teacher ratio and all camps are run to tried and tested processes and policies. Regards, Paul
