Camp with Private Picassos

Campers’ imaginations take center stage in these celebrated summer arts programs. Art made at Private Picasso morning sessions becomes inspirational fuel, beautiful backdrops and also practical props! Kids learn theater skills that inspire confidence, build connection, and activate their creativity in the afternoons. Sessions are led by expert teaching artists and culminate in a live show on the last day of camp!

Camps are capped at 10 students and led by two Child’s Play NY teachers. Child’s Play NY studio for July is at Greene Moments, a 1 block walk from Private Picassos.
