The New Children’s Museum brings working artists together with children, giving the community access to the artistic process. The Museum differentiates its arts summer program by focusing on project-based learning. Each camp and workshop will work together to produce a project by working directly, and in small groups, with a contemporary artist.
Camps are designed for children who will enter 1st grade in the fall up to middle school students. Intensive Summer Workshops are for high school students, except when ages are specifically designated.
