Summer ART Camps – Weekly June through July

Day Camps (M-F from 9am-4pm)

JUNE 7-11 • JUNE 14-18 • JUNE 21-25
JULY 12-16 • JULY 19-23 • JULY 26- 30

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.

CAMPER WEEKLY RATE: $250
MUSEUM MEMBER DISCOUNT: $200
$20 off each additional child from the same household attending camp during the same week.

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 week is unique, and campers may choose to return to build on inspiration and skills learned previous weeks.

Safety protocols will include:

Face coverings will be required for campers and staff throughout the day inside and outside the museum
Multiple hand washing breaks throughout the day
Social distancing

Volunteer opportunities for rising 9th-12th graders are available: click here for more information.

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.
