2023 Camp Details
Summer Camps run Monday through Friday. Please drop your students off at the scheduled start time each day, and plan to arrive 1/2 hour early for pick up on the final day of camp as we hold a Gallery event to showcase the artwork from the week (see below). Students are asked to bring their own snack each day as we have a designated snack time. Due to a high number of dietary restrictions, Otto's will not provide students with a snack, so please pack one for your camper!
Gallery
During our Summer Camps, students will not bring home projects throughout the week. On the last day of each Camp (Friday), a Gallery will take place 1/2 hour prior to pick-up. Students get really excited about the Gallery and it means a lot when parents, siblings, friends, and family come to see their artwork! After viewing the Gallery students may take home their artwork!
