Impactful art experiences for youth

With expert teaching staff, state-of-the-art studio facilities, and amazing exhibitions in THE GALLERY and THE EXPERIENCE, ahha Tulsa is the perfect place to kindle youth’s creativity and wonder.

Ahha Tulsa is committed to providing the very best in arts and creative instruction. With several decades of combined education experience, the ahha programs staff ensures that all courses include evidence-based instructional methods to increase students’ creative competency and visual literacy.

My son attended Dynamic Cityscapes and Art in the Dark this summer. They were by far the most creative and fun camps of the summer. He attends camp full time all summer and these were his favorite. … Keep up the good work and we look forward to seeing what's on the schedule for next summer!

My son was in your Mobile App and Photoshop camps. He absolutely loved the experience and got a ton out of the classes. Thank you for bringing such cool opportunities to Tulsa.

Can my child attend camp all day?

Our camp schedule is largely based on teaching artist and space availability. We also believe in the importance of offering the highest quality arts education programming, which is why we take child development into consideration when planning our creative camp schedule.

We want camp to be fun, educational, and inspiring rather than feeling like school or daycare, which is why we do not offer full-day camp for younger ages. While we realize that shorter camps might be inconvenient with caregivers’ work schedules, we strive to provide what is best for each age group in terms of physical, cognitive, social, and emotional development. We want every child who participates in camp to have a positive experience, and we believe one way to do that is to provide age-appropriate programming.

Children may attend both the morning and afternoon class for their age group, if offered. A supervised lunch will take place from 12:00-1:00 PM for campers staying all day. Campers must bring their own lunch; lunch is not provided by ahha.
