If you’re interested in painting and drawing, you can test your skills at our creative summer camp by Lake Balaton!

Funside Balaton is a unique, bilingual summer camp offering nearly 30 different activities at a magical lakeside location on Lake Balaton, attracting over 1000 young people from nearly 30 countries each year. Find out more about the classes available - you can try two each week - and choose the ones that suit you best below!

About the education

Classes at our Art Camp revolve around the creative ambitions involved in painting and drawing. Our camp curriculum was designed with older, 13 to 17 year-old campers in mind, with a deeper interest in drawing techniques, pencil, pastel, carbon and other tools, as well as portray or still life painting. Throughout the classes, our campers will learn about concepts, such as perspective, contrast, light and shadow, complementary colors and more. If you join us, you will be able to choose your own subject matters to work on and receive personalized feedback, all while working from the curriculum put together by our teacher.

At the end of each week, we open our own exhibition at the camp, where you can show off your work to other students and see what fellow art campers achieved during the same period. All equipment is provided by us and whatever you create you can take home at the end of the week. Given the time-consuming nature of painting and drawing, you will make more progress if you choose the Art Camp as a stand-alone subject with double classes a day, but if you would only like to get a taste of art, you have the option to combine Art class with another class of your choice (see the list below).

In this class you can also try interesting new techniques such as lino-cutting (click here to watch a short video demonstration of this method). This classic printmaking method allows campers to create their own designed prints. During the linocut process, our campers will learn how to carve patterns into linoleum, then coat these with ink to create unique prints. This method not only develops creativity but also enhances precise hand movements and spatial thinking, while adding another exciting artistic technique to the campers’ skills.

Intensive courses also available

From Monday to Friday, there are two periods each morning, approx. 2 hours each. You can split these (i.e. you can choose another interesting class from the list below in addition to fine arts) or you can choose the intensive fine arts course – in this case, you will be doing this in both daily time periods!
