Camp Friendship Youth Programs
Dear Families,
Sign-ups for this year's Youth Program are open online now.
Below, we briefly describe each class and you can click the links provided to see a schedule of activities for each week. Please review this information with your child before choosing — a quick conversation now means fewer kids showing up to a class they didn't want.
You may sign up for up to two types of classes for your child. Space is limited so please only register children who are excited about the classes offered, and commit to bringing them each week. Each lesson builds on the one before it, and consistent attendance is what makes that progress possible.
The 13-week program runs Saturdays, 2 p.m. –5pm from 10/10 - 2/6, at Camp Friendship (339 8th Street) except for holiday weekends (10/31, 11/28, 12/26, 1/2).Days f:
Registration closes October 1. Sign up here.
Warmly, Camp Friendship Brooklyn
What We Offer
Art
Our class invites students to experience art as a process of noticing, experimenting, discovering and transforming. Beginning outdoors and moving gradually into the studio as the season changes, students work with natural materials alongside traditional and unconventional supplies. Rather than emphasizing a predetermined finished product, each lesson encourages curiosity, sensory exploration, personal choice and the discovery of each student’s own visual language.
Basketball
We divide our groups up by experience. New players will learn the basics, while experienced players will learn to apply their skills in game-like settings. Additionally, experienced players gain leadership by new players master the basics; new players gain confidence by learning alongside experienced players. We will provide all equipment. We ask only that players attend every session and arrive on time.
Guitar
We offer two guitar sessions, one for returning students and one for new students. Guitar classes last for 45 minutes. Every student will be loaned a guitar for the class and, if possible, we will allow the students to take guitars home beginning in week 2. Guitar is not an easy instrument so please ensure that your child is interested before signing up for this class.
Tutoring
We offer tutoring in Math and English. Our team will work with your students weekly in one-on-one or small groups of 2-3, depending upon the skill being built and the need.
