2026 Everson Summer Art Camp

Create, learn, and grow with us at Summer Art Camp. Registration is now open!

Spend a week at The “E” and grow your artistic skills!

Our half-day art-making camp for kids ages 5–12, inside an iconic art museum. Campers explore painting, collage, sculpture, ceramics, and storytelling, all inspired by the Everson’s own galleries and led by experienced art educators. Registration is open now.

Need some assistance paying for camp? Need-based scholarship opportunities are available.

CAMP SCHOLARSHIPS ARE NOW CLOSED

Cost shouldn’t keep a kid out of the studio. The Everson offers need-based scholarships to help remove barriers to museum experiences and resources, covering one full week of Summer Art Camp for eligible families. Scholarships are limited and awarded as funding allows, so we encourage families to apply early.

The Camp Experience

A week at camp

Each morning starts in the galleries and ends with hands in the materials. Campers look closely at real art, then make their own, building skills, confidence, and a finished project to take home. Small groups, experienced educators, and a studio built for big creative messes.
