Do Cell Phones Belong at Summer Camp?

Do Cell Phones Belong at Summer Camp?

by Adam Simon | Dec 27, 2018 | Help For Parents, Shyness, Technology, Teen Camp Blog

The trauma of taking away kids’ “magic phones” at camp I know that’s a little dramatic, but that’s how it feels watching kids hand their cell phones over to their parents when they are dropped off at camp. I think I got that “magic phone” term from the comedian Norm McDonald, (one of my favorites). A […]

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.

  • Your gift to OTC ensures teenagers have the opportunity to spend a summer being exactly who they are at a fun-loving, judgment-free sleep away camp.

    For most teenagers, nothing matters more than having friends and fitting in. However, for some teens, this is harder than it is for others. OTC welcomes those who identify as LGBTQ+, gamers, goths, geeks, artists, activists, shy kids and those with no label at all. With your support, we can continue to provide a summer program for teenagers to flourish and grow.

This form is for all of our virtual programs. Kids can jump in and out of classes anytime. They don't need to commit to anything. Subscriptions can be canceled or put on pause anytime. Just email us. Your credit card will not be billed until 7 days have passed so you can see if your child wants to continue the program. All you need to do is email us to cancel.
  • If they like to be called something else, it's fine to put that in the first name field instead of given name. They can always change it later as well.
  • Online camp setup instructions will be CC'ed to this address. The actual account invite will be sent to this address only. If you want to set up that account for your camper or you want all communications to go through you, then leave this blank. If you have more than one child to sign up, complete this form again.
  • Billing receipt will be sent to this address.
  • Your card will be billed each week for the amount you select. You can easily cancel this subscription at any time by simply emailing us through our website contact page. No hassles, easy peezy.
