Camp Aldrich
Camp Aldrich is a full-day, week-long arts experience with Museum Educators and a practicing teaching artist. Campers explore the Museum’s three-acre campus, learn in the galleries, and incorporate the world around them into their art.
Each week, campers are guided through art-making workshops and activities led by a professional, practicing artist and our dedicated team of camp counselors. Weeks are tailored to specific age groups for the ultimate creative learning environment.
Each session culminates in a celebration for family and friends on Friday evenings, displaying works or art that the campers developed throughout the week.
