Camp Clay is a community ceramic studio in Bend offering kids' and teens' pottery summer camps. Half-day camps run mornings (9am–noon) through the summer, with campers making a different project each day such as plates, flower vases, jewelry dishes, mugs, and sculptural animals. Separate teen sessions are also offered.

★★★★★Tami WoodCamp Clay was such a rewarding experience!!! Great teacher, great new friends were made, and of course, I’m so proud of my new creations and new skills!!!! Thanks so much everyone!!!
★★★★★Tania QuispeI took the hand building class with Ira and it was such a great experience! I was guided throughout and supported on all my projects. I was provided with all the necessary tools and extra drop in sessions to finish up my projects. Thank you, Ira! And thank you to the studio for providing amazing classes.
★Miranda StockThey are very uncommunative and unprofessional here. They also have no way to actually call them and ask any questions. They are unclear about the process as a whole..please make sure to ask questions before starting a project and get full details before proceeding. You are pretty much forced to take a class to even have the most basic questions answered or basic info given to you. Wasted time and wasted money at this place. I was told to return "some time next week" to come back to my project in no way shape or form ready to glaze. The woman who I am assuming is the owner is very condescending and rude. If you are not willing to pay the money to take one of their classes then you will be left with unfinished projects. Their website is very misleading as well. No information about how often you will need to book a session to finalize your project or even an estimate. They seem to be concerned about their "small business" yet treat others that basically don't fall in the same tax bracket as them less than and it's pretty ridiculous. Won't be coming back.
★★★★★Seanie LeavittWhat an amazing experience! I’ve always wanted to do this, and although it was intimidating at first, Yvonne was such a great teacher and helped me gain confidence. Definitely recommend!
★★★★★BNC BrownOmg this place blew my mind. My day took a ceramics class in college last quarter and I happened to meet Kara F during that time. What a blessing she is. We started my daughter on 1 on 1 sessions with her and can't wait to explore more added options for her soon. Cute lil gallery that people sell their pieces too! Thank you Camp Clay and especially Kara F.
