Our Createability Arts program is the perfect place to bring your creative ideas to life. You can paint, draw, sculpt and bring your project ideas to life!
Transition Programming
Vocational/Supported Self Employment
The transition program is designed for individuals ages 16+. Programming could be during the school year before the student graduates or for students enrolled in transition programs through their school district (those programs where the student has recently graduated and is in that 18-21 years).
This program is designed for the individual student or group of students to explore art as a potential day program or vocational program as they search for what will work for them as they move into adult life.
Artistic mentors will work with students individually to explore and develop their artistic skills in a direction the student desires. Artists will be challenged with new skills and ideas to help increase the individuals art success.
Teachers of transition programs should contact us to discuss scheduling and specific goals and needs of the individuals or group of students.
In our vocational/supported self employment program, artistic mentors will guide individuals in artistic skills to build a marketable product that has good craftsmanship and quality
A team meeting will be required to assess your needs for support services.
Some questions to consider:
- Do I want to do this full time or part time?
- Do I want to keep my current part time job and do my art on the side as a business?
- Who do I have that is able to help support me with some aspects I need support with?
Camp Createability staff is able to assist with many aspects of the business of art and will work with your team to make sure you have the needed supports that fit your goals and needs.
Each individual is different in their approach and goals, but here are some of these supports that may be required:
- transportation to art fairs
- assistance during an art fair
- business logo design

Virtual and In-Person Art Classes & 1:1 Sessions
Visual Art Workshops are a great opportunity to learn about art and technology and to try a variety of classes that are offered at Camp Createability. Students can participate in weekly in-person or virtual sessions to continue practicing their craft and learn additional skills along the way.
Everyone is capable of drawing and painting when given actual step-by-step instructions. Anyone can improve their skills in a short amount of time with individual instruction. We are able to move as fast or slow as each individual needs.
1:1 Sessions are great for students who:
- Are any age or skill level
- Would like a more individualized approach
- Would prefer working alone rather than in a group setting
Virtual Art Workshops are great for students who:
- Are between the ages of 7 – 35
- Learn effectively in a virtual workshop setting
- Follow multi-step directions and work independently for a minimum of 15 minutes at a time
- Verbally ask appropriate questions (i.e. for help, clarification)
- Have an interest in art
- Have fluency in basic computer skills
Recreational/Day Programming
In our recreational/day programing, individuals will enjoy working in any artistic medium that they choose. Staff will teach new skills and let the individual guide us with where you would like to go with art. We will always look to challenge individuals with new skills and ideas to help increase your art success.
Our goal is to have you become as independent as possible.
What can you learn?
- independence
- daily living skills such as set up and clean up
- increase communication skills
- social interaction with other creative like minded individuals
- teamwork
- creative problem solving
All of our artists have the option to sell their work in our store and earn a bit of extra spending money.
As an individual gains independence and art skills they may choose to move into the vocational programing. An individual who decides they want to do art as a business can change their course by setting up a team meeting to determine is this would be the best direction.
