LCA Kids’ Camp – Comic Edition
July 14–18, 2025

This summer, let your child’s imagination soar at the LCA Kids’ Camp – Comic Edition! Geared for kids ages 5–17, this creative camp dives into the fun and fundamentals of comic-making. Campers will learn how to write, sketch, and ink their own original comic strip—building storytelling and art skills step by step in a fun, hands-on environment.

Here’s a peek at the week’s adventure:

Throughout the week, kids will create their own storyboards, explore illustration techniques, and gain confidence in their creativity. Light snacks will be provided daily to keep the inspiration (and energy) flowing! Please feel free to send packed lunches with water and snacks for your kiddos.
