OTC Dad Hat

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
