Art Outside

Overnight Program
|
AGES 10-12

Step into nature’s studio for a week of creativity, color, and fresh mountain air! Art Outside is the perfect adventure for young artists who love being outdoors and getting inspired by the world around them. This camp is where muddy boots meet watercolor brushes, and sunlit meadows become canvases.

Throughout the week, campers will sketch, paint, and create using natural landscapes as their muse. We’ll set up easels for a plein air painting session, take peaceful hikes with trail-side watercolor stops, and design earth-inspired sculptures in the style of Andy Goldsworthy—all while practicing Leave No Trace principles and respecting the beauty around us.

On Wednesday night, we’ll camp under the stars for a magical outdoor overnight. After a day of art-making, we’ll cook dinner together, share stories around the fire, and fall asleep surrounded by the sounds of nature—waking up to morning light perfect for another creative session.

Telluride Academy's Overnight Policy

Our talented instructors work hard to combat student homesickness on overnight programs. For many students, this experience might be their first time camping or away from home! In the days leading up to the overnight(s), the instructors have positive conversations with the groups to get them excited and prepared for their overnight adventures. This dynamic gets interrupted when a student is picked up early from their overnight. For this reason, we can not accommodate early pick-ups, unless in the case of an emergency. If your child does not want to attend the overnight, or if you have prior commitments that require early pick-up accommodations, we ask that you consider choosing a day program instead. Please call our office with any questions or concerns.
