Welcome to CBK Summer Camp
Park Slope !

Created By Kids is excited to announce our 4th year running our Summer Camp Program! We will host a twelve-week Summer Camp Program beginning this June. Each week, students explore different thematic concepts, beginning with an educational foundation as inspiration.

Each camp week is based on a unique theme. During the week we’ll use a variety of art-making techniques, including ceramics (both hand-built and wheel-thrown), jewelry-making, mixed media, textiles, printmaking, paper-making, art installations and more! The variety will keep kids interested while they learn about cultures, history, and literature through unique artistic projects.

All camps are held at our studio located at 592 Pacific St. Brooklyn, NY steps away from Atlantic Terminal/Barclays Center. Camp drop off begins at 8:45 am, with pick up at 4 pm. We offer an Early Drop off beginning at 8 am and Extended Day until 5 pm (see pricing in camp description). Please read our rules & regulations page before registering for camp. We hope to see everyone for another CREATIVE SUMMER at CBK!

Fine Art Camp

JUNE 13 - JULY 1

At the end of our week-long summer camps, every student goes home with an armload of cool projects that we've been working on throughout week. But because we realize the season's schedules are hectic and not all schools are dismissed at the same time, we've created a shorter series of day-long camps in the three weeks leading up to our various, ever-popular theme weeks. These day sessions have a sharper focus, with projects spanning a range of media that can be completed in a single day - other than clay works, these finished pieces can usually be taken home right after class. Like our fine arts camps in which students had the opportunity to try their hand at a little bit of everything, we'll explore printmaking, sculpture, jewelry, ceramics, and impressionistic drawing and painting. As always, we'll look at famous examples for inspiration (and a bit of a mini-art-history lesson, too). If you'd like to enroll for the full week anyway, we offer special bundle discounts - just check out our pricing below!

POP ART ( 7/4 - 7/8 )

Pop Art

JULY 4 - JULY 8

Students will explore the thrilling world of Pop Art by studying the iconic works of famous Modern artists, incorporating those ideas into projects that speak to their lives and surroundings.

We’ll transform the studio into a quirky gallery with sculptural canvases that actually pop out of the walls, similar to Marisol Escobar's "family" sculptures. Students will make huge plaster and cloth replicas of their favorite foods the way Claus Oldenberg did. We’ll learn about photographic printmaking to replicate Andy Warhol’s techniques, combining them with collage similar to Rosalyn Drexler's and Robert Rauschenberg’s work. We’ll look at the way Keith Haring expressed movement and emotion in his paintings and create clay sculptures based on those ideas. And through our examination of Roy Lichtenstein’s comic book-style paintings, we'll encourage students to create scenes that tell a story. Kids will be drawn in by the exciting ideas, bold colors, and unusual materials while learning about these well-known artists, and will have a new language to interpret and talk about the words and images they see around them daily.

AROUND THE WORLD ( 7/11 - 7/15 )

Around the World

JULY 11 - JULY 15

The summer months, when students are out of school, provide a perfect time for traveling and experiencing different cultures, so we will be doing just that right here in Brooklyn as we make art inspired from different regions of the world.

During a tour of Eastern cultures we'll make traditional Japanese teapots explore wax-resist Batik techniques from Indonesia. Then we'll head to Mexico where we will learn about el Dia de los Muertos, Oaxacan animal sculpture, and textile weaving. And then we'll journey to Africa, where we will compare African masks from different regions and make our own from clay, and use printmaking techniques to create Kente cloth designs, transforming some of our creations into textile-wrapped jewelry. Our multi-cultural studies will transform the studio and transport your child's imagination to far-off lands.

THE REALM OF ART ( 7/18 - 7/22 )

The Realm of Art

JULY 18 - JULY 22

Surrealist artists have always mixed reality with imagination and fantasy. Your child's mind will expand while we explore art in that tradition, and create some truly out-of-the-ordinary projects for them to bring home.

For this week's camp, we'll study a lot of modern-day artists and illustrators who use their imaginations to the fullest, like Bridget Bate Tichenor's creepy cartoons or Awesome Book author Dallas Clayton, who inspired our felt-monster mobile project. We'll do daily activities meant to stoke the kids' creative fires, like mini-guided meditation sessions, automatic drawing and free association based on reactions to stimulating musical selections. And with self-portraits from the future, they'll get to imagine their destinies and surroundings years and years ahead of the current moment in time.

ART AVENGERS ( 7/25 - 7/29 )

Art Avengers

JULY 25 - JULY 29

We believe that every kid is a superhero, so why not help them discover those special powers? With Wonder Woman, Batman, The Incredible Hulk and more for inspiration, they'll re-invent themselves as the comic book characters they've always dreamed of becoming.

We’ll spend the week developing larger-than-life personas while designing original costumes that the kids will want to wear both in and outside the classroom. Paper mache masks will hide their identity from supervillains, they’ll make magical amulets to guide them on their quests, and they’ll be flying high in specially sewn capes with screen-printed logos that they design. We’ll even make our own mini-comic books to chronicle our adventures!

USE YOUR ILLUSION ( 8/1 - 8/5 )

Use Your Illusion

AUGUST 1 - AUGUST 5

A class where wonder, sorcery, and art collide. During this class the children will create their own art projects based on the fantastical illusions and magic spells from the stories we all love.

From Harry Potter to The Wizard of Oz to modern-day magicians like Penn & Teller and David Copperfield, magic has enchanted our imaginations. The projects will center around the mystical objects that give wizards and magicians their special powers - we'll mix magic potions in spooky hand-made bottles, make intricate wands and mysterious magic books adorned with strange talismans, and create mixed-media animal avatars to assist us in our magical (and artistic!) journeys.

SPY VS. SPY ( 8/8 - 8/12 )

Spy vs. Spy

AUGUST 8 - AUGUST 12

There's been an art heist at Created By Kids, and we need skilled detectives and masters of espionage to get to the bottom of this!

Our studio will be transformed into a crime lab where we'll develop secret identities, spy kits with various sleuthing gadgets, and, of course, funny disguises! Throughout the week they'll collect clues to solve mysteries just like Sherlock Holmes. They'll be encouraged to hone their powers of observation and detection as we make invisible ink, decoders, and art projects using our own fingerprints!

THE ART OF INVENTION ( 8/15 - 8/19 )

The Art of Invention

AUGUST 15 - AUGUST 19

Our muse for this week is the famous Leonardo Da Vinci, an artist who used his artistry to invent machines that enriched humankind, and we'll talk about the ways that innovators and makers that are still changing the world around us today.

As always, creativity is key, but for this camp we'll take part in activities that really get their gears turning, as they'll be brainstorming their own projects and creating the curriculum themselves! We'll draw up "blueprints" and help them develop those ideas into artsy machines that actually work (or models of ideas too big to fit in our studio!) using a variety of mixed art mediums and materials. From Galileo to Thomas Edison to Ben Franklin to Ada Lovelace to Alexander Graham Bell to Steve Jobs, we'll look at how inventors altered the course of history and pay artistic tribute to their legacies.

WALK LIKE AN EGYPTIAN ( 8/22 - 8/26 )

Walk Like and Egyptian

AUGUST 22 - AUGUST 26

During our week exploring the history of Ancient Egypt, kids will be captivated by pyramids, hieroglyphics, mummies and pharaohs that have ignited the curiosity of archaeologists for centuries.

Ancient Egyptians were one of the first cultures to make their own paper from water reeds, known as papyrus. We’ll explore this process with commonly found materials, decorating the finished product with authentic Hieroglyphics. We’ll also be creating our own replicas of the elaborate beaded and inlaid jewelry which Egyptians wore for religious protection, from headdresses to collars and cuffs. Ancient Egypt was also known for its fine pottery, which we will be recreating through hand-building processes as well as on the wheel. And no study of Ancient Egypt would be complete without making Mummies; we’ll use armatures and plaster to create mini-Mummies that will spark the children’s imagination, and they can take them home in handmade sarcophagi that they build and decorate based on historic examples.

MYTHS AND LEGENDS ( 8/29 - 9/2 )

Myths and Legends

AUGUST 29 - SEPT. 2

Many cultures have their own artistic traditions centered around myths, and legends, such as Native American sand painting. We will delve into those customs while also creating art about new stories of our own!

Our studio will become a bewitching land of mythical, made-up clay creatures and enchanted villages made from mixed media. We'll write and illustrate our original tales with pop-up books inspired by Aesop's famous fables. And with dioramas based on the art boxes of Mano Kellner and Alexander Korziv-Robinson, each student will have a miniature, mesmerizing fantasy landscape through which their imaginations can run wild.
