The Octavia Project Summer Camp is a FREE summer camp for young women and trans, nonbinary, and/or gender non-conforming youth who will be in grades 6-8 next school year. Together we will create, explore, build, and have FUN in daily workshops that combine science, tech, art, and writing. We’ll also go on field trips that explore art & STEM in NYC. Whether you like to write stories, draw comics, or game, the Octavia Project welcomes you!
The Octavia Project Summer Camp will be held in person at the Urban Assembly Institute in Downtown Brooklyn. Our Summer Camp runs from July 5 – July 28, 2023. Workshops will run Monday through Thursday from 8:30am-3pm, plus two Friday Field Trips.
