To be considered for the Summer Camp, Gnomon requires all applicants to submit 2 – 3 samples of artwork. We also require that applicants answer the questions on the application form, provide one teacher/coach/mentor recommendation, and complete an interview with an Admissions Representative. The purpose of this interview is for Gnomon to gauge a student’s personal interest in the arts, as well as their readiness for the rigors of the camp curriculum. If accepted, the Admissions team will provide a confirmation email, instructions on payment, and information regarding the next steps.

All application forms and materials must be submitted no later than June 18th, 2023.

Gnomon's High School classes were developed for beginners having little to no experience with 3D software applications. While the summer camp experience was designed to be fun, students should be prepared for up to six (6) hours of in-class instruction per day. For this reason, only applicants who demonstrate an interest in digital arts are selected for the camp.
