Our downtown location offers camps for students ages 4-9 that are project-based and taught by artists and educators. Summer Camps are divided into two age groups: Camps for Littles (ages 4-5) and Camps for Makers (ages 6-9). All camps include classroom time to explore projects as well as opportunities for physical play in the Museum’s installations and outdoor play spaces. Family and friends are invited each Friday to an exhibition to view artwork created during the week.
Camps take place June 20 – Aug. 19 (except for the week of July 18-22 due to Comic Con) from 9am-4pm.
NOTE: All Summer Camps at the downtown Museum have reached capacity and are sold out.
