Otis College Summer Youth Camps are day programs, so no on-campus accommodation is provided. However, the campus offers comfortable classrooms and fully equipped art studios where campers spend their day creating, learning, and collaborating. Each workspace is designed to foster creativity and provide a safe, inspiring environment for artistic exploration.
Campers bring their own lunches and snacks each day, as meals are not included in the program. There are designated areas for eating and relaxing during breaks, and water stations are available throughout campus. The program encourages healthy eating habits and ensures adequate time for lunch and rest.
Parents are asked to inform staff of any medical conditions or allergies before the start of camp. Minor first-aid assistance is available on-site, and staff members are trained to handle basic health and safety concerns. For any significant medical needs, parents are promptly contacted, and emergency procedures are followed as required.
The Otis College campus maintains a secure, supervised environment for all participants. Trained instructors and camp staff ensure that students are safe and accounted for at all times. Controlled check-in and check-out procedures are in place, and security personnel monitor the campus throughout the day.
A highlight of the camp experience is the final-day art showcase, where campers proudly present their creations to family and friends. This celebration encourages self-confidence, artistic pride, and community spirit. Each week brings new friendships, collaboration, and a shared love of creativity that define the Otis camp tradition.
