Spend your summer break with us!
NCM’s 2023 Summer Camp Sessions are Sold Out.
For all sold out camps and summer studios, we invite interested families to submit their information via our waitlist. Camp spaces do often open up throughout the spring and early summer season. Camp staff will reach out to waitlisted families in the order of which submissions were received.
The New Children’s Museum offers camps (ages 4 – 9) and summer studios (ages 10 – 12) that are project-based and taught by professional artist-educators. The program encourages young artists to work individually and in small groups and offers activities where they can think, play, and create. All camps and studios take place from 9am to 4pm Monday through Friday and include classroom time to explore projects and learn new skills as well as opportunities to enjoy the Museum. Family and friends are invited each Friday to exhibitions to view artwork created during the week. Spaces fill up quickly, so register soon! All members will receive a 10% discount on Camp.
