Open to girls and gender-expansive youth entering grades 6–8, this one-of-a-kind camp is all about diving into the world of skilled trades—think carpentry, welding, electrical work, and more—through hands-on projects, real tools, and expert guidance.

From the first nail to the final blueprint, campers will discover new talents, connect with professional mentors, and explore the power of building something with their own two hands. In a fun, inclusive space where creativity and curiosity are celebrated, youth will gain leadership skills, confidence, and a strong sense of belonging in fields where their voices are needed most.

Trailblaze a new path this summer and discover the strength within!

This August, let creativity take the lead at Artful Adventures Camp!

This unforgettable day camp invites young artists to explore the many faces of art alongside local creators, makers, and mentors from the greater Mankato community.

Every day features a new artistic theme—painting, sculpture, mixed media, and more—giving campers the chance to get messy, get inspired, and make something uniquely their own. Through hands-on experiences and guided instruction, girls will build confidence, express themselves, and discover just how powerful creativity can be.

Join us for a week of inspiration, connection, and colorful exploration. Spots are limited—let’s make this summer a masterpiece!
