Clay Camps
Registration for 2026 Summer Clay Camps opens on Tuesday, February 10 at 10 am CT! Check back soon for more details!
We’ve got the perfect camp for you, with over 50 weeklong camps designed for safety, fun, and all ability levels ages 6 & up.
Campers will have the opportunity to create cups, figures, plates, and anything else they can imagine during our 2026 camp offerings. We offer a wide variety of themes—such as potions, woodland creatures, gifts, and more—in small, individualized class settings. Our NCC instructors and teaching assistants provide plenty of guidance and ideas while letting personal flair shine!
Each camp is led by a teaching artist; on average one additional teaching assistant is present for each camp. New camps begin each Monday throughout the summer months.

Scholarships
NCC has a small number of partial scholarships for children, awarded on a need basis. Scholarship funds will be allocated on a first-come first-serve basis, based on need, until the funds are depleted. A maximum of 50% the tuition for any particular class or camp may be approved. Because our scholarship funds are limited, no more than one scholarship per child will be approved in a calendar year.
2026 scholarship applications will open on January 20, 2026.
