Arts
Participating in the Arts encourages creativity, nurtures independence, develops social skills, boosts confidence, and gives folks an outlet for communicating thoughts and emotions in a supportive setting. At Eagle Mount, participants explore a variety of artistic mediums, from theater and dance to drawing, painting, and even design thinking.
Different activities are offered during each 3, 6, or 9-week session throughout the year. Check below to see what activities we’re offering now!

On the agenda:
Program Offerings
Family Art Nights
As part of our Family Engagement programming, monthly Family Art Nights are occasions for participants and their families to engage in a fun art activity together. Whether it’s painting, clay sculpture, printmaking, or something else, these events are a ton of fun for the whole family!
Theater
Our famous Theater session returns each summer for a round of acting games, costume design, set building, and final performances. All participants – theater background or not – are welcome at this fun, social session.
Drawing
Participants practice sketching, breaking things down into simple shapes, and learning techniques to make drawings look 3-dimensional. Along the way, we develop an understanding of how elements like line, shape, space, value, color, and texture play into our drawings.
Painting
Participants try a variety of painting techniques using acrylics, watercolors, and more, all while exploring how elements like line, shape, space, value, color, and texture play into our paintings.
Cardboard Sculpture
Participants engage with STEAM – science, tech, engineering, arts, and math – as we create cardboard sculptures. From animals to robots to castles, the bounds of participants’ imaginations are limitless!
Dance
Participants move and groove to the music in this multi-disciplinary dance session. Together, we choreograph and perform a dance for the community!
Music
Participants explore various ways of making music through workshops led by local musicians.
Printmaking
Participants try the age-old practice of printmaking by creating art via wood blocks, carved linoleum, and even potatoes!
Sibling Art Camp
Each summer, Eagle Mount sibs are invited for three days of community and creativity. Sibs get to explore some of the activities participants get to do, from painting and printmaking to clay sculpture and papier-mâché. *Open to siblings of Eagle Mount participants; ages 8 and up.
