HUNTER ART CAMPS

Draw, paint, build, and explore! School-aged campers (rising 1st through 6th graders) will dive into a new themed activity every day. Campers will work in peer groups, arranged by age, to make art and explore the creative landscape and sculptures around the museum.

TEEN CAMPS

SUMMER CAMP

Taught by local artists and museum professionals, Hunter Summer Art Camps are designed to immerse campers in a hands-on approach to artistic methods, materials, and inspirations. The majority of the day will be spent outside and in the open lobby of the museum.

Each camp is unique, and campers may choose to return to build on inspiration and skills learned previous weeks. Registration opens in March for summer camps. Cost is $250 per week with discounts for members and multiple child enrollment.

Weeks for camp are as follows: June 6-10, June 13-17 (Waitlist), June 20-24, July 11-15 (Waitlist), July 18-22, July 25-29

Virtual Schooling

The resources we give to classroom teachers are also available for virtual schoolers. We have a variety of options that can be tailored to your child’s needs and interests.

Browse Virtual Hunter for art activities, tutorials, mini tours, and museum guides for kids. We can help you integrate these into your child’s assigned curriculum.
Bring your child on a small and safe group tour. You can enjoy the museum with your child and a few friends. Museum educators design and lead tours to match your child’s age and interests. Physical distancing and masks are required.
Schedule a virtual tour with a group of virtual schooling friends. Like the in-person tour, your child can see artworks in the museum and ask questions.
Reach out to us with questions! We can help you enhance your curriculum with art and creativity.

FAMILY FUN DAYS

Designed for our youngest guests, Family Fun Days are interactive and engaging. Bring the whole family for an afternoon of fun at the museum with hands-on activities, games, and live performances inspired by the art in our exhibits. Family Fun Days are free to all kids 17 and under, free to members, and only $20 for general admission, which includes admission to all exhibitions and activities.

Start practicing for the Hunter’s next Family Fun Day with activities on Virtual Hunter!
