Summer Camp 2025 Weeks

*Please note themes and activities will be repeated once to expand capacity for the theme. All camp weeks are designed for ages 6–12.

Nature Makers
June 9–13 and June 16–20

Connect with the natural world through art! Campers will create their own masterpieces inspired by plants, animals, landscapes, and natural textures, fostering a deeper appreciation for both art and the environment. Through nature walks and garden discoveries, paired with hands-on art activities, kids can connect with their environment and unleash their creativity. Because of the terrain in Eden Park, this week may be difficult for children who use mobility devices.

Future Foodies
June 23–27 and July 7–11

Join us for a creative culinary adventure inspired by the Farm to Table exhibition. This camp celebrates the stories of what we eat through food-inspired art activities and exploration. Campers can make miniature foods, design their own restaurant, and dream up their own pizza recipe. It’s a fun and flavorful way to spark curiosity and creativity!

Messy Fun Weird
July 14–18 and July 21–25

Explore the messy world of artistic innovation by combining unusual techniques, materials, and tools. This week’s campers will dive into a variety of media—paints, fabrics, clay, collage, and more—blending them in unique ways to create imaginative artwork. It may get messy, and it may seem weird, but it’s sure to be a fun time!

Enchanted Worlds
July 28–August 1 and August 4–8

Step into a realm of imagination and magic, where young adventurers can journey through the worlds of fairytales and mythology. Campers will make art inspired by mythical creatures, enchanted landscapes, and magical stories as we explore the fantastical art found in the museum’s collection.
