SUMMER CAMP

Taught by local artists and museum professionals with a low camper-to-counselor ratio, Hunter summer art camps are weeklong experiences designed to immerse campers in a hands-on approach to artistic methods, materials, and inspirations. Campers will spend time in the museum galleries, in the art studios, and outdoors.

Each week of camp is unique, and campers may choose to return building on inspiration and skills learned in previous weeks. All art materials – and snacks – will be provided. Parents are asked to pack a peanut-free lunch for their child each day. Register now at the link below.

Age: Rising 1st – 6th Graders

Camp sessions: June 5-9, June 12-16, June 19-23, June 26-30, July 10-14, July 17-21, July 24-28 (full)

Camp runs from 9am to 4pm each day

Non-members: $300 per week
Museum members (Passport level and above): $240 per week

Discounts are available for siblings enrolling in the same week.

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.

SUNDAY STUDIO

New in 2022, every 2nd Sunday of the month will host Sunday Studios, a drop in art making workshop for visitors of all ages from 2–4pm. Each month will highlight a work of art from the museum collection and feature an activity that can be taken home as a lasting reminder of your visit to the Hunter.

With a focus on sound, light, and touch, the sensory-friendly map with visitor guidelines and social narrative will assist youth on the Autism Spectrum or with sensory processing disorders in preparing for their visit and navigating the museum.
