Camps & Intensive Workshops
The New Children’s Museum differentiates its arts-based summer programs by focusing on project-based learning. Each camp and workshop will work together to produce an artist project by working directly, and in small groups, with a contemporary artist. The New Children’s Museum brings working artists together with children, giving the community access to the artistic process.
