DIY Dream House Camp
During this special week of summer art camp, your camper(s) will be designing their own dream house, winter cabin, beach bungalow, superhero den, princess castle or whatever dream space they wish to create! Each camper will receive a blank wooden house as the base for all the projects we will work on throughout the week.
In addition to our art projects, there will also be time for snack/lunch breaks (please pack a lunch…we will provide 2 snacks per day), walks outdoors to view the inspiring art all along Bridge Street, and movement breaks along the trail right behind our studio. There will be at least two adults with your camper(s) at all times.
This camp is geared toward ages 7-12. All are welcome to attend.
Date: July 8 - 12
Time: 9am-3pm
Cost: $485/pp
Frequently Asked Questions:
How do I know if my child(ren) is ready for summer camp? Summer camp is not school; however, we do have a few simple rules your child(ren) will need to be able to follow to fully enjoy our program. Campers should be able to use the restroom independently, sustain attention for 15-20 minutes, listen and not talk while the art teacher is speaking, keep their hands and feet to themselves, and be willing to explore creative experiences they may not have ever tried before. Most importantly, your child(ren) must want to be at summer art camp. We ask that parents do not sign their children up for summer art camp if they express that they do not want to go.
When does the camp day start and end? DIY Dream House Summer Camp hours at Studio 323 run from 9am to 3pm. Due to the scope of the projects, we are only offering a full day option for this special week of summer camp. We provide two snacks per day and campers should pack a lunch.
What is Studio 323’s approach to art education? We believe in process over product and having fun with art! Our teaching approach is known as a “gradual release of responsibility.” We start all projects by sharing examples…so camper’s are aware of where we are going...and teacher instruction and modeling (Teacher models/campers watch). We then move to creating together, providing assistance according to camper individual need (Teacher & campers work together) and move towards camper independence (Camper works independently). This is a rough explanation of how we approach creating with students and all instruction and support are provided according to individual camper need. Fun is the anticipated outcome. Summer art camp is not school!
What is the teacher to camper ratio? We will have at least two teachers and one assistant present at all times with a maximum of 12 campers.
What should my child(ren) wear to camp? Close-toed shoes are recommended and must remain on during camp. Sneakers with socks are best as we will do some walking outside each day. Comfortable clothing that can get dirty, stained, or paint splattered. We provide aprons, but it is best for young artists NOT to wear their best! Studio 323 will not be responsible for clothing that is stained during camp. If your child(ren) have sensory needs that prevent them from wearing the recommended clothing, please let us know prior to camp.
What should I pack for my child(ren) to bring to camp? And what should we not pack? Please send your child(ren) to camp with a refillable water bottle, sweater/jacket if they get chilly in air conditioning, a snack if there are allergy or preference concerns, and a bagged lunch. Studio 323 will provide two snacks for each camper each day. PLEASE DO NOT SEND PERSONAL ITEMS (INCLUDING TOYS, ART MATERIALS, PHONES, EAR BUDS, ETC). If you are unsure if an item can be brought to camp, please err on the side of not bringing it. Email us if you have a question.
