No Two Days Are the Same at The Octopus Summer Camp
Each day includes a guided activity based on our Studio Focus. Campers learn a new art technique and/or material.
Camp days also include open studio exploration. Campers can choose what they’re excited about.
Week-long campers also work on extended projects over multiple days, creating pieces they’re extra proud to take home.
It’s structured creativity with room to explore.
Mondays
🎨 Paint & Texture: Campers explore painting in creative ways using fun tools and techniques like texture printing, symmetry art, and more.
Tuesdays
🧵 Fiber Arts & Design: Kids create bracelets, lanyards, and simple sewing projects while building fine motor skills.
Wednesdays
🔬 Art + Science: A mix of creativity and experiment-ation. Think shrinky-dinks, color reactions, and hands-on art projects.
Thursdays
🛠️ Maker Lab: Campers use specialty tools to create unique projects. Campers discover how to DIY their favorite sensory compounds with everyday ingredients.
Fridays
🎉 Choice Day + Showcase: A fun, flexible day to finish projects, revisit favorites, and share creations with family at pickup.
