Early registration: Summer Camp 2025

The NAGB Summer Camp offers a safe, fun, and inclusive environment where young artists can explore, create, and collaborate. This year’s theme, Voyages: Exploration Beyond the Ordinary, draws inspiration from Bahamian waters, embodying the spirit of marine exploration, discovery, and creativity. Campers will explore the close, symbiotic relationship between Bahamians and the sea, reflecting on its recreational and commercial importance, and learning about sustainable practices, maritime trade, and how the ocean has connected the islands for centuries. Through mixed media art projects, they will create work inspired by the beauty and significance of the sea, leaving with a deeper understanding of The Bahamas’ marine culture and the importance of protecting our waters.

Camp tuition covers all materials, equipment, snacks, lunch, camp t-shirts, special workshops, and field trips. Need-based financial aid is available, and opportunities to sponsor a camper are also offered. The camp concludes with a special student exhibition celebrating each camper’s creativity and growth.
