Long Beach Public Library Creativity Lab Summer Camp.
Registration is closed for the 2026 Creativity Lab Summer Camp. Check back here for updates on the next session.


The Creativity Lab Summer Camp at a Glance

Throughout the Creativity Lab summer camp series, students explore the textures and layers of Long Beach’s history, geography, and culture, from its Indigenous roots to the diverse communities that shape it today. Guided by the question, “What is Long Beach to you?”, participants will deepen their understanding of the city’s multifaceted identity and develop the confidence to express their unique stories.

Explore Art and Design

Students will participate in art-making activities like photography, collage, digital illustration and more; using these mediums to explore themes of community, culture, and civic life.

Discover Our Vibrant City

Students will explore various locations within our vibrant city to gain a sense of place, history, and how students can shape the future.

Build Creative Confidence

Creativity takes courage. The Creativity Lab is designed to instill creative confidence within students so that they can carry it with them throughout their academic careers and beyond!
