Summer at The Hangout PDX 2024

LET THE SUMMER FUN BEGIN!

Designed for K-5 kids!

Our fun and enriching summer camps are designed for the artist of every level! From the novice painter to the expert clay maker, we work with all campers to inspire creativity, self-confidence, and friendship while introducing them to new art mediums and exciting experiences!

Each week we take a deep dive into a different art idea and give our kids the tools to explore the far reaches of their imagination! Through play based lessons, our campers will work with ceramics, painting, textiles, creative storytelling - and more!

Our camp days are broken up with indoor time where much of our artmaking activities happen, and outdoor-action time! We play games such as kick-ball, capture the flag, tag, frisbee- not to mention some outdoor relaxation time as well!

We believe at The Hangout PDX that every kid deserves a high-quality art education that is targeted towards each child’s unique interests and skillset. We take pride in creating a welcoming and safe environment for campers that helps unleash their inner artist while having fun with new friends.

Ready to make some art??

LET’S DO THIS!

We’re still working on our camp offerings for 2025. Check out some of our camp offerings from 2024 below!

Week 3: SEW MUCH FUN!

Monday - Friday   July 8 - 12, 2024                  

The perfect introduction to fibre arts! We’ll spend the week hand sewing our very own stuffed animals while learning some popular stitch techniques. Campers will explore different types of thread art such as embroidery and cross-stitch before receiving one-on-one lessons with a counselor at the sewing machine. At the end of the week, every camper will go home with sewing projects they have completed themselves, as well as an introductory understanding of textile arts! 

Week 7: CLAY WEEK

Monday - Friday   August 5 - 9, 2024      

Time to seize the clay! This week we will learn all about the wonderful world of that messy, malleable art material - clay! Using various clay mediums, campers will enjoy creating hand-built pottery, sculptures, 3D art, and even jewelry. This is the perfect class for those creative kids who just love to get a bit messy with their art or want to bring their 2D ideas to life!

Program Limitations:

Our space is loud with many children performing many different activities all at once. Some children may find our space/program overwhelming. 

As a small program, we do not have the resources to accommodate students requiring 1:1 teacher support throughout an entire day. We will make every possible effort to accommodate students and learners of all varieties and work with families to set up their children with success. 

It is imperative that families share any and all possible behavioral issues, learning tools, and important information prior to attending our program to aid in their child's success in the program. 

If we feel we are not able to adequately support your child in a space and with tools that they deserve and need to succeed, we will inform you and discuss alternative options.

Registration fees?: None.

Hidden fees?: Nope!

Lots of FUN?!: YES!!
