Summer Days Camp
A full summer of art-led adventures, July and August, with a new theme every week.
See Summer Days Camp →The daily groove
Every day has structure, but there's room to breathe. Projects build across the week, so kids end Friday with something they're genuinely proud of.
Teaching artists are with kids all day. Groups stay together and get to know each other well by midweek. Friendships form fast.
Please pack nut-free snacks, a water bottle, and dress for mess!
What camp families say
“My son went to PLAYDAY camp for two weeks last summer and begged us to sign him up for more. He made more art in those two weeks than in the whole school year.”
PLAYDAY UES parent
“The gallery walk on Friday afternoons is the highlight of our week. Watching her explain her own work to us, with confidence, is something I didn't expect.”
PLAYDAY Park Slope parent
“We love that the theme changes every week. Our kids have done five different sessions and each one felt completely fresh. Incredible variety.”
PLAYDAY LIC parent
“Camp is 9 to 5, and my kids are genuinely sad when it ends. That's how you know it's good. The teachers are exceptional.”

Questions
When does registration open?
Registration is open year-round. All-Inclusive members get early access to summer camp, typically 2 weeks before the public. You can book by the hour, the day, or the week.
Can I book individual days instead of a full week?
Yes. You can book by the hour, the day, or the full week. During peak weeks, full-week bookings take priority.
What should my child bring?
We do not provide snacks, so please pack nut-free snacks, a water bottle, and a labeled lunch. Dress for mess. We supply all art materials and aprons.
What age range is camp for?
Camp is for ages 5 and up, and all ages are grouped together rather than split into separate age bands.
Is there early drop-off or late pickup?
Standard drop-off is 9:00 AM and pickup is 5:00 PM. Early drop-off (8:30 to 9:00 AM) and late pickup (5:00 to 6:00 PM) are available at most locations for an additional fee.
What if my child has never done art before?
Perfect, camp is beginner-friendly by design. Teaching artists meet kids where they are. There's no right way to do camp at PLAYDAY.
Is camp included in All-Inclusive?
Yes, both school-break camp and Summer Days Camp are fully included in every All-Inclusive membership plan.
