Spring Camps at The New Children’s Museum in San Diego offer award-winning, project-based children’s art camps for ages 5–13. Designed for curious, creative kids, our spring camps blend hands-on artmaking, exploration, and imaginative play in a museum setting. 

Campers will dive into Marisol Rendón’s whimsical world Wobbleland, a giant kitchen sink installation where oversized food pieces invite hands-on exploration. Inspired by the playful household objects around them, campers will craft their own soft sculptures, bringing a taste of the exhibition’s imaginative spirit to life.

Led by professional artist-educators, campers work on individual and collaborative projects that encourage them to think, play, and create in meaningful ways. This spring, our expanded camp offerings include new experiences created with older kids in mind, giving returning campers fresh opportunities to grow their skills and ideas. 

All spring camps run daily, 8:45am–3:45pm, and include time in our art studio space, Artopia: NCM Creative Studios, and throughout the Museum. Whether your child is new to art or already loves creating, our summer camps provide a creative, supportive environment for learning and discovery.
