Two ways to camp with us

Exact camp dates are confirmed per location and are coming soon. Contact your studio for the current schedule.

Year-round

School Year Camp

When school is out, PLAYDAY is in. We run full-day camp programs all year long, during every school break: fall recess, Thanksgiving, winter break, President's week, spring break, and more.

  • All major school breaks
  • 9:00 AM – 5:00 PM
  • Ages 5 and up
  • Fully supervised, drop-off
  • Book by the hour, day, or week

Summer

Summer Days Camp

A full summer of art-led adventures. Kids explore new mediums, make new friends, and go home with projects they're proud of — every single day.

  • All summer, July and August
  • 9:00 AM – 5:00 PM
  • Ages 5 and up
  • Book by the week
  • New theme every week

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.
