The arts programs at TMI play a critical role in the development of the whole child. Through technical visual development and critical thinking skills we foster the students' own ideas and self-expression. Campers are deeply involved in the creative process by working out problems using a variety of  media. Part of this effort is to offer excellent summer art camps and programs to the community.

Unlike other art camps, our campers get the benefit of being served a nutritious lunch, swim time, and use of other facilities on campus.  We strive to nurture their inner artist and beg it to come out to play. This is an environment where your camper can practice being expressive and go hog wild. So having fun is one of our primary goals!
