Summer Camps Filling Up Fast: Register Now!
Think warm thoughts... summer camp season is right around the corner. Campers return to our week-long camps year after year. Why? Because our amazing team of educators develop and lead their camps personally. Because our camps explore art, science, theatre and culture in brand new ways each year. Because our terrific counselor:camper ratio gives them an unforgettable, personal experience. And... because they get the run of the Museum for a whole week!

Visit our camps page to see the camps, meet our counselors and sign up.
