2025 SUMMER ART CAMP INFO
Summer Art Camp at the Palmer Museum of Art is devoted to artistic adventures. Campers will enjoy exploring the galleries, creating art, and participating in a variety of art-inspired activities and games.
Each week offers two camps, morning and afternoon, so campers can create a full-day option by registering for both. Instructors are highly skilled and experienced K–12 art teachers. Sessions offer a specialized art focus and include age-appropriate rest times, creative play, opportunities for socializing, and group walks through the Arboretum (weather permitting).
Full-day campers will pack their own lunches and snacks.
Registration is via CampDoc. See below to register or join a waitlist, to find more information about each of the four sessions, and for registration instructions.
