  MINT Maker Camp: Youth Pottery Camp!

  For 4th-6th Graders

  Camp Theme: Youth Glass Camp!

  Dates: July 13th-17th, 2026

  Time: 8:30am-4pm (drop off between 8:30-9am)

  Location: 112 Quality Ln, Rutland VT, 05701

  Age Groups: 4th-6th grade

  Cost: $300/ 5 days of camp

  What to Pack:

  • Snacks and lunch for your child each day.

  • Comfortable, durable clothing suitable to get messy from clay and good for indoor and outdoor activities.

  • Closed-toe shoes with good traction, that are ok to get messy.

  • A water bottle to stay hydrated.

  • Sunscreen and a hat for sun protection.

  • Books, sensory items, etc. for alternative break time options.

  This week-long, full-day camp offers a hands-on introduction to the art of ceramics, where students will master foundational hand-building techniques including pinch pots, coil-building, and slab construction. Throughout the week, campers will learn to manipulate raw clay into both imaginative sculptures—such as monsters and gnomes—and functional household items like planters, trays, and plates. Participants will develop essential motor skills and tool proficiency while exploring structural techniques to build height and strength in their work. We will also dive into surface design by using found objects like leaves and stamps to press unique textures into the clay, finally concluding the camp with an introduction to underglazes, where students will learn to apply decorative details and vibrant color to their custom creations.

  If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact Marissa at Marissa@rutlandmint.org.

  This camp is generously subsidized by The Vermont Child's Trust Fund.
