For generations of families, the Bemis School of Art’s summer "Art & Acting" day camps at La Foret have been exactly that: a beloved way for elementary-aged children to spend summer days immersed in creativity, community, imagination, and the beauty of our campus. We are delighted to share that La Foret will be bringing this wonderful program in-house as a La Foret-led summer day camp program!

This summer, La Foret will host five weeks of day camp for elementary-aged kids, carrying forward the same spirit, structure, and beloved traditions that families have come to know and love. Children can look forward to days filled with art, creativity, play, expression, and the joyful energy that has always made this program so special.

We are thrilled not only because this is an outstanding program in its own right, but also because it offers something more. For children who may one day be interested in overnight camp, this day camp can be a beautiful introduction to the La Foret property, community, and camp experience. It offers a chance to build familiarity, confidence, and a sense of freedom in this place — helping camp begin to feel like home.

In so many ways, this feels like a continuation of Alice Bemis Taylor’s vision: a place where art, nature, and community come together to nurture young people. We are honored to help carry that legacy forward and excited to welcome a new generation of campers into this cherished summer tradition.

Stay tuned for registration details and more information about this summer’s camp offerings. We cannot wait to create, play, and imagine together at La Foret.
