JuxtaHub launches new arts & innovation summer camp
July/August sessions now on sale for children ages 6-12
[EMMAUS, PA, February 12, 2026] JuxtaHub, the Lehigh Valley’s new arts and innovation center, is now accepting registrations for its 2026 Summer Camp, offering hands-on creative experiences for children ages 6-12 throughout July and August.The four-week program invites students into JuxtaHub’s classroom studios as part of an immersive creative learning experience. Campers can explore ceramics, 3D printing, painting, illustration, fiber
art, printmaking, and storytelling. The camp features flexible scheduling options designed to accommodate busy family schedules.
“JuxtaHub Summer Camp offers more than art instruction – it’s a place where kids build confidence, creativity, and meaningful friendships while working alongside experienced teaching artists,” said Ryan Hill, JuxtaHub’s Executive Director. “Our intentionally small class sizes and flexible studio spaces allow campers to explore diverse creative disciplines in a supportive, engaging environment.”
“As a parent and a community leader, I know how valuable it is for children to have access to creative, hands-on learning opportunities close to home,” said Valerie Deneen, President of the Emmaus Rotary Club. “An arts and innovation summer camp at JuxtaHub fills an important gap in the western Lehigh Valley, giving kids a space to explore their creativity, build skills, and stay engaged during the summer months.”
The camp operates in four weekly themed sessions:
- Week 1 (July 6-10): Foundations & Materials Exploration
- Week 2 (July 13-17): Storytelling: Story, Place, and Imagination
- Week 3 (July 27-31): Innovation, Design, and Making
- Week 4 (August 3-7): Creative Construction: From 2D to 3D Families can choose from multiple enrollment options:
- Full-day camps (9:00 am – 3:30 pm) for ages 6-9, featuring rotations through multiple art and innovation classes throughout the day
- Half-day or full-day Studio Intensives for ages 10-12, allowing older campers to dive deeper into specific disciplines including 3D Printing, Ceramics (Wheel Throwing & Hand Building), Printmaking, and Fiber Arts
- Before Care (8:00-9:00 am) and After Care (3:30-5:00 pm) for families needing extended hours
Age-appropriate programming ensures younger campers experience variety while older students develop specialized skills through extended studio time with dedicated teaching artists.
Half-day camps for ages 10-12 are priced at $165 per week ($150 for JuxtaHub members), while full-day camps for ages 6-9 are $330 per week ($300 for members).
