ABOUT SUMMER CAMP AT THE WALTERS ART MUSEUM

Your child’s creativity will soar during the Walters Art Museum’s week-long summer camp sessions. Each week, campers will engage with a different theme that will inspire them to create their own masterpieces. Elementary-level students will connect with art from around the world and meet new friends in a fun, playful environment as professional educators guide them in learning to use a variety of materials. At the end of each week, students will display their work in a showcase of all they learned during their time at the Walters.
