2025 Art Scouts

In Art Scouts, our camps for our younger creative explorers, students will embark on creative projects including map making, paper marbling, kite crafting, clay sculpting, natural tie dyeing, and flower pressing. We’ll play games, explore the creek, see and make art inspired by our 2025 Summer Exhibition, and have lots of fun!

This camp is part of our new summer camp experience for 2025, Vagabond Time Killers: Welcome to the Universe. All of the above activities will be loosely themed around a different era visited by the Vagabond Time Killers, a group of kids from Wassaic’s mythical past who are experts at killin' time. This session will see students investigating the mysteries of the mammoths — other sessions include Dinosaur Era Volcano (July 14–18), Way Future Outer Space (July 21–25), and Wild West Desert Quicksand (August 4–8)! Each session of Art Scouts will contribute to a group mural that will be debuted, alongside performances by The Wayward Theatre Troupe and The Unruly Band of Renegade Music, as part of an epic end-of-summer extravaganza on August 23.

We've written a short story to tie it all together here. While each camp stands alone, we ask that you please share the story with your child ahead of time so they understand their role in producing the final activation. Every camp and every camper has a role in the universe!

We have a no-questions-asked scholarship policy to ensure our education programming is accessible to everyone who wants to participate. If the cost of camp presents a significant financial barrier, please reach out to jill@wassaicproject.org for a partial or full scholarship. If you do so before December 18, we will send you a discount code before registration opens.
