Summer Camp
| A day at The Studio’s Art and Science Enrichment Camp is filled with exciting projects, outdoor play, and creative fun. Each day begins with a morning art project focusing on getting the creative juices flowing. The main project for the day (see the day-by-day list below) has a fine art or science focus and is designed to help campers develop and explore their scientific and creative selves. During free play, campers play outside or take advantage of all that the museum has to offer indoors. The day ends in reflection of the day’s work and a recap of all the learning and fun that was had! |  Cancellation Policy |
