Designed for ages 5 to 8 and 9 to 12, weekly camps are held from June 2 through August 1, in full-day or half-day formats. Each camp features a different theme as children discover artistic processes, learn from guest artists, and spend time in the galleries of the museum. Space is limited and registration is required.

Treat your child, grandchild, or friend to a gift of art!
