As a kid, I went to two different versions of summer camp—Girl Scout camp and music camp. One was hot and dusty, the other seemed to have been a tricky way to get me to practice my viola more! But either way, summer camp brings fond memories of making new friends, learning new things, and never being bored.
Now that I’m all grown-up, I DREAM of having a week off to go to summer camp. The next best thing? Living vicariously through the DMA’s summer camps! You too can experience the fun of DMA-style camping (or glamping) through your kids. Need something to keep your children from being bored? We have camps for:
- Kids who love to paint
- Kids who want to swing a hammer
- Kids who dream of becoming fashion designers
- Kids who love telling stories
- Kids who love animals
- Kids who love to travel
- Kids who love Harry Potter
- Kids who secretly wish to compete on The Great British Bake-Off
- Kids who love art
- Kids who love science
Basically, we have camps for every kid! Each day campers get to spend time in the galleries looking at art from all around the world. Then they take their ideas and creativity (and plenty of glue and paint) and create their own masterpieces in the studio. This year campers will strut their style through the Dior exhibition, build miniature play houses, create art that’s good enough to eat, and so much more. If you’re still looking for something fun to do this summer, come spend some time at the DMA! Register for camps here.
Leah Hanson is the Director of Family, Youth, and School Programs at the DMA.
