Make your summer count this year with Alabama School of Fine Arts summer camps. A variety of camps in the arts and sciences are offered throughout June 2025.

ASFA also offers 3-week math intensives in pre-algebra or Algebra 1 for those looking to get ahead in math or brush up their skills before the next school year. Come create, learn, and discover with ASFA's award-winning faculty.General camp information:
- Camps are taught by ASFA's professional faculty members.
- A snack will be provided during each camp.
- Campers can and are encouraged to combine a morning and afternoon session to make a full day.
- LUNCH will be provided for campers attending morning and afternoon camps.
- Tuition includes snack, supplies, and a non-refundable $50 cancelation fee. If a student is sent home for unacceptable behavior, tuition will not be refunded.
- Morning drop-off starts at 7:45 am for 8:00 am camps. Campers need to be picked up promptly when their day finishes. There is no before-care or after-care available.
Registration confirmation:Your child's registration is official when you receive confirmation that your child has been placed in a summer camp. If there is a waitlist for the camp, and you sign up to be placed on the waitlist, we will contact you only if a spot becomes available. If we have not contacted you, that is because a spot has not become available. Completing the registration form and going to the waitlist does not guarantee that your child is registered for camp. We recommend that you seek alternative programs in the meantime as a backup for your child's summer camp plans.
