summer arts camp
With a long history of providing arts programming to New York residents, Greenwich House is proud to offer its Summer Arts Camp for young people ages 7-14. Young artists will have access to our historic Greenwich Village buildings, equipped with art rooms and studios. All levels are welcome, the only requirement is an interest in the visual arts. In addition to arts programming, field trips and weekly swim sessions round out the campers experience.
Counselor-in-Training (CIT) Program for Teens
Our eldest group of campers, aged 13 and 14, can work more independently from the younger campers, engaging in in-depth art projects, and participate in counselor training workshops so they can learn how to supervise young campers. We hope to encourage maturity and independence in our senior campers and provide an enviornment for growth and self-discovery. Since space is limited, interested teens are required to apply for this program.
Camp Dates July 6 – August 28, 2015
