Summer Camps for Kids
Kids’ summer camps are back! Make the most of your family’s summer break with weeklong day camps designed for kids ages 4 to 18.
Choose from a full lineup of camps, each one focused on a different kind of creative fun. Explore the grounds in a camp all about art and nature, or give the architect in the family a chance to build their skills with a camp connecting STEM and the arts. Whatever your kids’ passions, they’re sure to find plenty to love at the museum. And you’ll love that they’re learning and making memories every step of the way.
Check out the listings below to see dates and camp descriptions.
Need-Based Scholarships: A limited number of need-based scholarships are available for all summer camps, covering 100% of registration costs. Scholarships are awarded through a lottery system and cannot be awarded for any camps that the camper has already been registered for through the regular camp registration process.
