SAN RAFAEL, Calif., June 24, 2026 — Youth in Arts, a leader in accessible arts education for youth throughout Marin County, announces that a limited number of spaces remain in its summer camp for students with disabilities, ages 8–12. Families are encouraged to apply soon for the upcoming session. The visual arts camp will be held July 27–31, 2026 from 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM daily at Youth in Arts, 917 C Street, San Rafael.
Campers will explore painting, collage, clay, and more in a supportive, inclusive environment designed around their needs. The camp maintains a 1:4 student-to-teacher ratio, and aides and support staff are welcome to attend alongside campers as needed.
“I am so grateful we found Youth and Arts Summer Camp! Our daughter was excited to go to camp each day. The team was so supportive of her unique challenges and meeting her where she was at. Highly recommend the music and arts programs for kids of all abilities!” said Sarah, parent of a summer camp student.
Tuition is $375 for the week. Scholarships are available to ensure cost is not a barrier to participation and additional financial assistance may be available through a family’s regional center social worker. Youth in Arts is committed to making every program accessible to all students.
