Holiday painting courses for children in Basel with Wild at Art
Art, creativity & lots of fun - the best holiday courses for young artists.
Colourful holidays full of creative adventures
Our holiday painting courses for children in Basel are all about experimenting, creating and inspiring. Whether
drawing, painting or crafting, children can let their imagination run wild during school holidays with us.
The children learn different techniques and materials in a playful way: Acrylic, watercolour, drawing, clay, pastel, collage, ceramics and more. Sometimes free, sometimes guided - always creative and child-orientated.
Our holiday camp is designed for children aged 6 to 12. Depending on the activity and group size, we make sure that every child receives age-appropriate support.
We combine art, movement, nature & community - creative, relaxed and full of discoveries. No pressure to perform, no boredom - just space for real experimentation and personal development.

What is included in such a holiday programme?
As a rule, all materials for the artistic work, participation in workshops, exercise activities (e.g. yoga), meals and entrance fees for excursions are included in the price. Transport costs usually have to be organised separately.
Catering during the programme
Healthy snacks in the morning and afternoon as well as a wholesome lunch are often included - especially for all-day participation. Any special dietary requirements or allergies should be communicated in advance so that appropriate consideration can be given.
The creative concept behind the programme
Artistic support covers a wide range of materials and techniques - from traditional media such as pencil, charcoal and crayon to bright colours such as acrylic and watercolour and more advanced media such as oil and pastel chalks. Sculptural work, e.g. with clay, can also be part of the programme. The children are guided by experienced tutors, encouraged to try out new techniques and develop their individual skills.
The combination of art and movement not only encourages creativity, but also promotes mindfulness, concentration and a good sense of community within the group.
Works of art to take home
At the end of the programme, the children usually take their works home with them - e.g. in a personal sketchbook or portfolio. This not only leaves a memory of a creative time, but also a visible documentation of their own development.
