Museum Youth Camps 2020–2021
Join us for camp at the MAC
The MAC’s camps are based on the philosophy that young people benefit from hands-on learning experiences that combine an appreciation for the arts and science with respect for and understanding of the world around them. It is the mission of our dedicated and experienced staff to promote creative talent, cultivate a sense of wonder, and foster an enthusiasm for exploration of the natural world.
Virtual Camps
Due to the COVID19 pandemic and our concern for the health and safety of campers and staff, we will be delivering our camps in a digital format this year. We’ll provide age-appropriate instructions and materials for activities your camper(s) can do at home. Each activity will include some exploration of the materials and will result in a finished piece. There will be options provided for extending the projects and challenges for campers to go even further with their creativity. The length of time each activity takes will vary from camper to camper.
Hey Teachers – To order kits for the entire class at special pricing contact education@northwestmuseum.org. Please allow for two week advance registration.
One-Day Spring Camps
Offered during spring break (second week of April), these one-day camps for grades 2-5 provide fun and inventive activities that campers can enjoy from their own homes. Each camp is intended to engage kids for several hours and can be completed at your convenience throughout the week or over the following weekend.
Museum Virtual Camp Kits will include links to our instructional videos, printed instructions and project materials. Kit pick-up instructions will be provided upon registration.
These camps are not a series. Please register for each one separately.
