Youth Art Camps
Tinker @ BMoCA Youth Summer Art Camps
BMoCA is happy to be hosting summer camps in partnership with Tinker Art Studio for kindergarten - 11th grades. Our summer exhibition will be incorporated into the camper experience and curriculum in a variety of ways. Morning and afternoon camp sessions are available, please see our EVENTS page for details.
Please note: these are half day camps that runs Monday - Thursday.
We spend our days in the stunning upstairs studio above the museum, and get to make art in community while being inspired by our surroundings and the contemporary artists' work on display. Each week includes a museum tour, and each day includes snack and break time outdoors on the large grassy lawns in front of the museum. Less than 6-to-1 student-teacher ratio, the most inspiring space, exposure to contemporary art while making amazing work of our own -- it doesn't get much better!
Please note that there is no lunch time supervision for kids enrolled in both the morning and afternoon sessions. Parents are responsible for lunch and should plan to pick up their kids during this time.
