Little Artist Offers for Summer Camps
Ages: 4-13
Summer 2024 AT MACAM
The Little Artist Program for Summer Camps offers a delightful blend of art, friendship, and fun. Set within the inspiring studios of the museum, children have the opportunity to explore, experiment, and create their own masterpieces. Surrounded by captivating exhibits and a beautiful garden, the camp provides a stimulating environment for both indoor and outdoor activities.
The camp’s artistic themes are thoughtfully designed to suit different age groups. We strive to strike a balance between guiding our young artists and allowing them the freedom to express their unique individuality.

Sunscreen and Hat: Apply sunscreen in the morning before camp and provide additional sunscreen for reapplication during the day. Our camp staff will remind campers to reapply before going outside.
Comfortable Clothes: Children may get their hands dirty and stain their clothes during creative workshops, so it is recommended to wear clothing that can get dirty.
Shoes: Please do not send campers in open-toe shoes like flip flops or crocs, as they are not safe in the studio environment or for our outdoor activities.
