by Odyssey Teen Camp | May 1, 2022

The countdown before camp has begun, and, while excited, you may be less than enthusiastic about packing. Whether you’re speed packing after diligent procrastination or slow packing far in advance, we’d like to share some tips and tricks for a smoother experience. ...

Gender Diverse Housing at Odyssey Teen Camp

by Er Raff | Feb 23, 2022

Our biggest question One of the biggest questions we get all year is how we assign campers to their cabins at OTC. Unlike many other camps that decide housing based on the binary genders of “boys” and “girls,” we at OTC have chosen a different approach. We...

Giving the Gift of “Magic” (The Gathering)

by Emmanuel Williams | Nov 10, 2021

I freshly remember my first experience with Magic: the Gathering (shortened to Magic for the rest of this post) at OTC. Here I am, a 13-year-old kid so far tainted by society that I start my first summer at camp trying to find out where I “fit in” and who I...

Telling Ourselves a Different Story

by Adam Simon | Oct 6, 2021

Learning from disappointment and frustration When a camper wants to call home after only being there for a few days, they usually ask their parents to come and get them. They are tired from walking; they don’t love the rustic camping lifestyle; they miss their cell...

OTC is Rising Like a Phoenix From The Ashes

by Adam Simon | Jun 1, 2021

"Cosmic Phoenix Rising" by Laura Milnor Iverson I don’t know the story of that phoenix very well, but I think it’s about renewal, resurrection, transformation, strength, and all sorts of things that sound really good to me. I started Odyssey Teen Camp about twenty...

Anything But Typical: Celebrating Neurodiversity at Odyssey Teen Camp

by Georgios Tsangaris | Apr 28, 2021

Too often, young people are punished for being different. As a neurodivergent person, my teenage years were punctuated by pressures to conform. Teachers and authority figures weren’t interested in how my mysterious brain worked or how fully I felt my feelings. They...

“What are the ideas that will liberate all of us? Science fiction is simply a way to practice the future together...practicing futures together, practicing justice together, living into new stories. It is our right and responsibility to create a new world.”-adrienne...

The Fear and Fun in Getting Ready to Go Back to Camp During a Pandemic

by Adam Simon | Mar 1, 2021

When Covid came to town last year I was as scared as just about anyone. My wife, who is a Nurse Practitioner, was going to work at a hospital in NYC every day, treating many patients with COVID 19, and I was staying home afraid. A bubble? I knew early on in this...

Artist-in-Residence Application

The Odyssey Teen Camp Artist in Residency Program is open to established and emerging artists who are interested in passing the passion of their craft on to teenagers and inspiring the next generation of artists.

Our residents teach four classes per day. Two of these classes will have a brand new group of campers each day. Artists are welcome to teach the same class each day or submit ideas for multiple classes.

Two of the classes are what we call “intensives;" week-long classes with a consistent group of campers each day. Intensives are great for longer-term pieces like mural painting or performance-based projects.

These classes are an hour and half each and happen Monday-Friday. One of our counselors will aid as a teaching assistant for each of your classes.

OTC is all about helping teens build confidence and self-love through community building and collaborative projects. We are looking for artists who are interested in fostering creativity, connection, and community building. In your proposal, please tell us how you would run a classroom at Odyssey Teen Camp. How would you build community within your classes? What do you hope our campers will learn from your classes? What is the main objective of the project(s)?

Provided: $1000/week stipend Lodging in one of our yurt tents + 3 meals per day in our dining hall Free time spent on our 400 acres in the Berkshire Mountains and our beautiful waterfront An amazing opportunity for connection and exchange between the resident artist and campers

To apply: Please submit a resume or CV. Submit a brief Project Proposal for each class.
