Please see the camp schedule and features below.
DESCRIPTION:
Students will enjoy creating their own replicas of artwork from the given culture and time period. These replicas will allow for a creative, interactive experience with the material. The students’ creations will be directly inspired by trips taken to the Bowers Museum, where they will see original works of art and ancient treasures.
The summer camps will coincide with exhibitions taking place at the Bowers Museum, so students can truly capture the essence of the culture being studied. During the first week, kids will visit The Tsars’ Cabinet: 200 Years of Decorative Arts Under the Romanovs during “The Richness of Russia” camp. Each week participants will delve into ancient arts and visit exotic lands.

The truly unique highlight of the summer camps are the Archaeological Digs that will be held in the Kidseum’s archaeological pits during five of the eight sessions. The digs, which will teach children the importance of preserving historical artifacts, follow the rules set by the Archaeological Institute of America. They serve to make young students aware of our place in history.
