“Whether I’m teaching Street Art to high schoolers, or the latest techniques in painting or digital character design to emerging elementary-aged artists, the win for me is seeing the joy come when they start to conceptualize their work, and then the pride and amazement they have when finish their final art piece,” said Shannon McGillick, Director, One River School Englewood, NJ. “By focusing on fun but using a true curriculum-based approach to art, the outcomes – the final art pieces each student produces – are tremendous and bring so much pride to each student.”

One River School offers summer camps at each of its 15 locations across Northern New Jersey, Long Island, Westchester County NY, and Fairfield County, Conn. 

At the end of each camp session, students, parents, families, friends, and the media are invited to come and explore and celebrate the art exhibits that the school hosts.
