Mural Camp at Flood Park & Alviso Park

Hours: 9:00 AM – 3:00 PM | Extended Care: 8:30 AM – 5:00 PM 

Join us for an exciting week of creativity at our Mural Camp! Young artists will work together to design and paint large-scale murals at Flood Park and Alviso Park, transforming public spaces into vibrant works of art.

Campers will explore the fundamentals of mural design, including brainstorming themes, sketching concepts, color planning, scaling drawings, and collaborative painting techniques. Along the way, they’ll build teamwork skills, confidence, and artistic expression while learning how public art can bring communities together.

Each session is tailored to its unique park location:

  • Flood Park Mural – Campers will create a dynamic mural inspired by nature, community, and the beauty of the park environment.

  • Alviso Park Mural – This three-week mural experience begins with Week 1 focused on planning and design, where campers will brainstorm concepts and develop artwork together. Weeks 2 and 3 will focus on painting a truck and Cybertruck, transforming them into bold, collaborative moving murals inspired by Alviso’s culture and creativity.

No prior mural experience is necessary—just creativity and enthusiasm! All materials are provided, and campers will leave with new skills, new friends, and the pride of contributing lasting artwork to their community.

Let’s paint something amazing together! 🎨
