Camp Omi 2026 - Art Omi

Overview

Join Columbia County's most popular arts camp for one or more weeks of creative adventures. This program engages kids ages 6-12 in drawing, painting, sculpture, performance, music, nature art, and more. Through self and guided exploration, hands-on learning, collaboration, and critical thinking, children gain new skills and confidence in their own ideas. With contemporary art and architecture and the expansive natural landscape as a backdrop, campers rotate daily through studios in open air pavilions: 2D Studio, Sculpture Shop, Performance/Movement, and Field Studies.

Swimming

Swimming occurs daily onsite in an in-ground pool with a certified lifeguard always present. On the first day, the lifeguard administers a swim test to determine deep-end eligibility (5ft). Those not deemed strong swimmers wear a colored wristband and remain in the shallow end (3ft). Children are only required to take the swim test if they wish to enter the deep end. Non-swimmers or those who prefer not to swim will have other activities available at the pool.
