Summer Art Camp

Create Summer Fun at GRAM!
Monday-Friday
9:00 am-12 noon

Summer Art Camps are exciting visual arts encounters offered to children ages 5-12. Each session allows campers to connect with original works of art, build their creative skills, and participate in a mini-exhibition at the end of the week.

Our most popular camp is back with a whole new set of projects. Campers will experiment with a variety of media while being introduced to the Art Museum. Inspired by the permanent collection and temporary exhibitions, children will use many techniques including sculpture, drawing, and painting. Each session will include time in the galleries and an activity to complement the day’s highlighted works of art.

Shift gears with a camp devoted to the city of Detroit. Create a life-sized city, make a model car, and participate in group activities inspired by Detroit: Then, Now, and Next. Campers will learn about Michigan’s industrial past and predict the future with projects focusing on creating sustainable cities. Each day will include outdoor games, time in the galleries, and the opportunity to explore a variety of art techniques.

Have a young child and an older sibling who both want to attend camp? Does your child want to do everything with their best friend? This is the camp for you! A wide range in ages allows for campers with different experience levels to create in the unique setting of the Art Museum. By participating in art projects that encourage working together, children will experience GRAM’s collection and exhibitions while fostering social and team working skills.
