About Our Children’s Art Camps and Afterschool Enrichment Program
Creative Roots Art Studio offers children’s art programs in Beech Island, South Carolina, serving families in the CSRA, Aiken, and Augusta area who are looking for gentle, meaningful creative experiences for their children.
Our programs are designed for children to slow down, explore creativity, and build confidence in a calm, welcoming environment. We focus on process over perfection, allowing children to experiment with materials, make choices, and express themselves without pressure or comparison.
Children’s programs at Creative Roots include afterschool art enrichment and seasonal art camps, offered in intentionally small groups so each child feels seen, supported, and encouraged. Programs vary throughout the year and are shared as they become available.
What Children Experience in Our Art Programs
At Creative Roots, children are invited into an art experience that values curiosity, creativity, and connection over finished products.
In our children’s art programs, children can expect:
Time and space to create at their own pace
Exploration of a variety of art materials and techniques
Encouragement without comparison or competition
Gentle guidance that supports confidence and independence
Small group settings that feel calm, safe, and welcoming
Our approach is inspired by Montessori and choice-based learning, supporting children as they develop problem-solving skills, creativity, and self-expression in a way that feels joyful and natural.
Creative Roots programs are especially well-suited for families seeking art classes for children in the CSRA that prioritize kindness, process, and meaningful creative experiences.

Join us in Beech Island, SC over at Creative Roots Art Studio for an unforgettable, enriching summer art camp experience. Our home based studio feels like home- a place where children can create in a low pressure, self-paced environment with all the love and support they need to feel successful. In between Montessori based art projects, children explore nature, make real world connections and friendships, and (most of our students’ favorite part) play with our studio mascots- Ms. Lindsey’s 3 pugs!
Our experienced instructors take pride in helping children take ownership of their art. Rather than having everyone follow along and make the same exact project, our artists learn to make artistic choices based on expression and art theory from the beginning, just like real artists do! Each of our three instructors brings a unique skill set to our instruction. To learn more about them, click here!
This summer, children can anticipate 3 days of Sunshine! Our projects will reflect the sunny days and positive play that summer brings with it from custom ice cream cone paintings to printmaking using the sun itself… every day will be filled with learning, fun, and reflecting on the good things in life. We can’t wait to welcome you to our home this summer. ☀️💕🍋
