Franklin Road Academy: Cardboard Land

Cardboard Land is an afternoon art camp at Franklin Road Academy where the creative medium is exactly what the name suggests: cardboard. Kids ages 5 to 14 spend time creating and building with it each session — a hands-on, material-focused approach that suits kids who like making things more than sitting still. Sessions run from noon to 3:00 p.m., making it a useful afternoon option if your mornings are already full. Two sessions are offered across July, from July 6 through July 31, so you can pick the week that fits your schedule. The age range (5 to 14) is broad enough that siblings could potentially attend together, though younger and older kids will likely approach the projects differently. At $145 per session, it's reasonably priced for a specialty art program. Franklin Road Academy runs this as part of a larger summer arts series on its campus at 4700 Franklin Rd. Families also explore Franklin Road Academy: Imagine & Create, Franklin Road Academy: Color Craze, and Franklin Road Academy: Crafternoon for similar art options at the same school.
