Kids Create! Summer Art Day Camp

Developing artistic knowledge and art skills in children since 2001

Elements of Art

For first-time kindergartners–offered all three weeks

Introduce your little one to art and creativity through M&G’s specially designed kindergarten camp focused on the Elements of Art–with a hint of the ancient. Your beginner will enjoy multiple art projects, age-appropriate lessons, interactive games, and snacks while learning about line, shape, color, and texture. This 5-day morning camp will not only expose young starters to a structured learning environment but also inspire and capture their imagination!

Note: K5 campers must turn 5 years old by September 1, 2025

Fee (includes daily instruction, art supplies, and snack): Museum Members: $95 | Non-Members: $99

 

Exploring the Ancient

For rising1st—6th grade (ages 6-12)–offered all three weeks 

The Pyramids of Giza, Homer’s Odyssey, and paper—these were all invented centuries before the birth of Christ! Travel back in time as we learn about the unique customs, symbols, and artforms of four fascinating ancient civilizations: Egypt, China, Greece, and Rome! Like archaeologists, we’ll uncover mosaics, paintings, and ceramics highlighting each civilization. Then, we’ll swap our excavational tools for paintbrushes and pencils to create our own artwork inspired by these ancient cultures that helped shape our modern world.

Fee (includes daily instruction, art supplies, and snack): Museum Members: $95 | Non-Members: $99

 

An Excavator’s Adventure

For 6th-8th grade (ages 12-14)–offered weeks of June 9 and 16

Building on the elementary camp emphasis, middle school artisans will uncover the fascinating finds about everyday life, fashion, beliefs, and funerary customs of ancient Egypt. In addition to creating a signature cartouche with hieroglyphs, campers will use a variety of art media to transform their own portrait image into an ancient Egyptian wall painting.

Fee: $125 (includes daily instruction, art supplies, and snack)
