Mini Monets: Fine Arts Camp

Fuel your imagination and create!

Come join in the all new fun for an unforgettable week of artistic discovery! Led by Mini Monets owner Jennie M. Wenk (a SCAD grad with a passion for teaching!), this camp is all about nurturing creativity and exploring brand-new mediums. Whether following guided prompts or diving into self-directed projects, students will use their unique talents to bring their imaginations to life. Your child will head home with a portfolio of stunning original art and a huge smile!

Cost: $240

Date: June 22 – 26, 2026 @ Cape Fear Academy

Time: 9:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m.

Ages: 5 – 10

Mini Monets: Clay and Sculpture Camp

Unleash your inner sculptor! 

Get ready to get messy and have a blast! This summer, campers will dive head-first into the world of 3D art. We’re moving beyond the page to build, mold, and weave all new creations. We will use everything from different clays and wire to papier-mâché, origami, and more! This is the ultimate chance for young artists to level up from drawing to creating their very own pottery and sculptures.

Cost: $260

Date: July 20 – 24, 2026 @ Cape Fear Academy

Time: 9:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m.

Ages: 6 – 11

M.Monets: Illustration and Animation

Bring your stories to life!

Have you ever wondered how your favorite characters go from a simple sketch to moving on a screen? In this high-energy camp, artists will master the art of visual storytelling! We’ll start by designing original characters and vibrant worlds, then dive into the magic of stop-motion and flipbook animation. Using traditional drawing and animation techniques, campers will learn how to capture movement and expression like a pro. Whether you’re a budding graphic novelist or a future movie director, this camp is your chance to make your art MOVE!

Cost: $240

Date: July 27 – 31, 2026 @ Cape Fear Academy

Time: 9:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m.

Ages: 11 – 15

Mini Monets Artistic Expedition

Come join in on all new artistic fun for the littlest artists. This camp is perfect for young artists to explore hands-on process art making. The Artistic Expedition camp is designed to foster their natural creative process in developmentally appropriate ways. Young artists will use their imaginations and problem solving as they create unique pieces of art.

Cost: $200

Date: August TBD @ Home Studio

Time: 10 a.m. – 12 p.m.

    I’m interested in a week of your summer camp, “Blast from the Past”, for my 7 year old son.
    Where are you located?
    I checked the entire site and couldn’t find an address.
    Thanks,

    I am interested in the summer camp at Surf City. I see that the cost is $60. Is this for 1 week? I am also interested in possibly doing a camp at the clubhouse in our neighborhood, if you can provide what the cost for that would be and how many children you would need to participate.
    thanks!

    Are the three sessions of Summer Camp in Surf City identical in content? or is each session learning something new?

    • MiniMonets's avatar

      Hi Deed,

      Each session/month will be a different set of projects and we will learn about different artists. Nothing will be repeated and children can attend each session.

      Thanks!

        Thank you!
        How do we register for the classes?
        Also, I am trying to decide between the July and August classes, Can you tell me more about those specific classes and their content?

        I will email you the registration form. Each month, I will have a different set of projects for the kids to create. Some will be teacher guided and some are self directed. I introduce different artists but I do not have specific themes for the months. For the younger classes, we will have projects in watercolors, mixed media, tempera, and clay. The older classes focus on how art will translate into careers in an art field. We will look at successful graphic design elements, effective character design, layout and animation.

    Hello, I am confused by the dates for summer camp. Is it only for an hour? Do you have a day or half day program?
    Thanks,
    Heather Brosnan

    • MiniMonets's avatar

      Hello Heather,

      Yes, the camps are an hr long this year. My school year classes run 30 – 45 minutes so I’m trying something new with having art projects that last an hour. Depending how this year goes, next year I may offer 1.5 – 2 hr classes daily. Please email me if you are interested in signing up for Cape Fear Academy, Carolina Beach, or Ogden. Thanks for your interest in Mini Monets Summer Camp.
