Registration is now under way for summer camp programs at Carnegie Museum of Art and Carnegie Museum of Natural History, including camps at the field research station Powdermill Nature Reserve in Rector, Pennsylvania. A range of opportunities are offered at each location, allowing children to have fun while learning about engaging topics through hands-on experiences.
Carnegie Museum of Art offers a variety of art and architecture summer camps from June 15 to August 14. Through tours of the galleries, exposure to works by famous artists, and hands-on art-making, the camps allow children to develop their artistic skills and creative voice. Half-day Art and Architecture sessions are offered for children ages 4–5; half- or full-day sessions are available for children ages 6–7; and full-day sessions are offered for children ages 8–13. Pre- and post-camp care is available for an additional fee.
Camps include:
Treasure Hunt (ages 4–5): Campers will be invited to explore the museum by following a treasure map of the galleries and hidden spaces. They will make a chest to store handmade treasures they create themselves and then design a museum hunt of their own.
Art Vacation (ages 6–7): Children will visit sunny beaches, tropical islands, and sailboats at sea in artworks in the galleries. They will create a passport, postcards, and souvenirs along the way.
Go Green: Art and Architecture (ages 8–10): Campers will investigate the relationship between art, architecture, and nature. Using everyday materials, they will create their own “green” artwork.
Traveling through Time (ages 11–13): After taking a journey through different time periods and cultures, from ancient civilizations to the Middle Ages to historic Pittsburgh, campers will transform their experiences into original artworks and models. -- www.carnegiemnh.org
