Drum roll, please... Announcing our theme for this summer - "Reconnecting ALL of You in 2022!"
“Kids learn more in RAZ art camps than school!” parents said.
At the beginning of 2022 Robertson Art Zone embarked on an ambitious project to help combat the stresses and isolation heightened by the COVID-19 pandemic, along with many organizations worldwide. The additional benefits of Healing, Freedom, and Joy have been designed into all RAZ services.
"My kids come home happy. They love to come to RAZ camps."
The good news is children, teens, and adults participating in classes and camps of the astutely designed project have gained very positive results. Parents can depend on elements of healing, freedom, and joy incorporated into all 2022 RAZ Summer Camps with Art for Kids as well.

Now the RAZ Team is getting excited about this summer's new theme as they plan an amazing array of fun things for kids to do from LA. Are you ready to see it?
The RAZ, Beverly Hills will be the headquarters from which summer day campers will "embark" on simulated tours to different countries and continents each day. Kids will discover the cultural arts in many ways and experience the elevating RAZ theme for summer 2022:
