Artist-in-Residence Master Your Art
Michael Dates Visits OTC
Campers benefit immeasurably by interacting with an Artist-in-Residence. No one is better qualified to provide teens with constructive, supportive, actionable feedback to help them focus on their passion in ways they never dreamed possible.
As a result of this feedback, teens gain confidence in their work and summon the will to take their artistic visions to new heights. They develop critical thinking skills and experience a boost in self-esteem.
This program is simultaneously a confidence builder, an incubator for creativity, and a source of inspiration that teens will turn to repeatedly long after their summer at OTC has ended.
NYC Punk Band Nemesister Visits OTC
In the summer of 2022, NYC punk band Nemesister came to Odyssey Teen Camp as part of our Visiting Artists Program. In just one week, Nemesister taught classes and helped campers form two bands. They both wrote their original song and performed for all of OTC on the last day of camp.
Providing teens with a one-of-a-kind experience that will pay dividends for years also requires financial resources to attract the best artists.
That’s where you can help us. When you donate to OTC and the Artist-in-Residency program will help us attract even more world-class artists to our camp, creating for your campers and future campers a once-in-a-lifetime experience that truly has the power to transform their perspectives on art, life, and themselves.
We will continue our mission to offer a summer program that embraces youth and gives them an outlet to be exactly who they are! Whether they’re gamers, geeks, activists, artists, LGBTQ+ teens… It does NOT matter! They’ll always be welcome and celebrated at Odyssey Teen Camp.
