Crystal Bridges Summer Camps
Get ready for a summer of creative adventures! Designed for kids ages 4 to 18, these weeklong day camps each focus 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.
