High School Summer Camp

RMCAD’s summer camp is a program open to juniors and seniors who are interested in studying art and design. Over the course of three weeks, students will complete RMCAD’s Studio Seminar: Methods of Inquiry course. The Studio Seminar course is a required class for all RMCAD freshmen. This means that high school students will have the opportunity to take a real college course taught by RMCAD faculty members, create art pieces to build their portfolio, and earn three credit hours to be applied to their degree if they decide to attend RMCAD. Studio Seminar: Methods of Inquiry combines ideation methodologies and studio practice as a holistic introduction to the visual arts, laying the foundation for active and critical reflection and engagement. The course focuses on critical thinking, problem solving, and visual strategies utilized in studio practices. These methods and processes are supported by lectures, class discussions, research, and writing. Additionally, the course is complemented by hands-on studio projects that draw on creative and critical skills, and critiques, which are executed both individually and collaboratively. Summer Camp for 2018 will be held on the RMCAD campus from June 11 – 29 from 9 – 4 p.m. Students must attend camp for the full three-week period. The cost for the program is $1,500, which includes all materials and a non-refundable $100 application fee. Should you decide not to attend, the $1,400 program fee is refundable up to 30 days prior to the program start. Payment options are available.
