The holidays bring lots of days off from school and this can add to the stress of the season. We are here to help. Here are some of our old favorite holiday camps as well as a few new ones. Good luck finding a good fit and having some time to clean the house in peace!

Please join OWP’s Global Artist Workshop, a week-long camp over February break (February 19 to February 23). Throughout the week, we will be learning about an incredible line up of visual artists from near and far.
Each day, campers will be introduced to an artist, learning about their life, medium and artistic techniques. They will be creating with clay, making collages, painting, experimenting with photography, working with textiles, building upcycle sculptures, and practicing Spanish.

SKATEYOGI Day Camp is designed for students ages 7-13 of all levels. We group students based on their levels, so absolute beginners can learn the basics while experienced skaters can learn more advanced techniques and tricks. Skatepark etiquette and skateboarding topics are introduced throughout the camp. Using SKATEYOGI‘s two indoor skate spaces as our home base, we travel to skateparks and skate spots via public transportation (weather permitting) while skating and learning together! Lots of skateboarding inside our indoor spaces and outdoors! Limited enrollment.

THESE CAMPS WERE CHOSEN BY OUR EDITORS AND INCLUDED AT NO COST, BUT SOME CAMPS HAVE CHOSEN TO SPONSOR THEIR LISTINGS AFTER SELECTION.
Please note that A Child Grows does not certify or inspect these camps (we don’t have the ability or resources to do that) so parents must use their own best judgement. NYC licenses some camps but it doesn’t apply to all camps and we can’t check that or know all the details.
