Campers in Kindergarten – 1st grade will be placed in cohorts of 15 students. There will be a lead teacher and an assistant teaching artist assigned to work with each cohort, bringing a variety of projects and activities each day to experience within their groups.
Campers in 2nd Grade – 6th Grade will experience our Open Studio model and will create their own schedules each day they attend camp – bringing back choice and movement through our studio options. We are prepared to adjust this model based on the most up to date COVID-19 policies given closer to the start of camp.
We are thrilled to announce that we are working with NYC Gymnastics Movement again this summer and they will provide one Gymnastics class every day your child attends camp – all seven weeks!
Studio Experiences Include:
Clay & 3D Art
Gymnastics with NYC Gymnastics Movement
Makers Space & Science
Music & Songwriting
Painting & Visual Arts
Theater & Storytelling

The Counselor in Training (CIT) program in the Open Studio Summer Camp is a selective work experience program for students who are rising 7th Grade to rising 9th Graders. This small group of students is guided by experienced teachers and given a chance to develop job readiness skills in a supportive and fun environment working with younger children.
As Counselors in Training, students get to be part of the camp experience through a specialized position that allows them to learn, grow and develop new skills while also being part of hands-on camp activities.
Students are invited to apply for two – seven weeks of camp, for Mornings (8:30am-12:30pm) or Full Day camp (8:30am – 4:00pm). To apply to this tuition free program, you will need to complete a program application for your student through the link below and submit a $50 application fee.
After your student’s application is processed, you will receive a link to submit your child’s CIT Program Essay. The essay is three questions long and all submissions are due by April 15th. You can preview the CIT Program Essay Questions Here. Students are notified of acceptance on a rolling basis and no later than Friday, April 29th.
Please note that all CIT’s are required to be full vaccinated for COVID-19 and must follow all health and safety policies. Counselors in Training are also required to participate in staff training days the last week of June.
