Nelson Atkins Summer Camps

An easy way to help your child have a cool summer — in more ways than one — is to reserve a spot for them in our new all-day summer camps. Surrounded by some of the world’s greatest works of art, kids participate in classes taught by Ford Learning Center instructors, enjoy fun-filled learning activities, and create their own art inspired by the museum’s collection. Check out the excitement that’s in store: World Art Tour | Ages 6-12 Monday-Friday, July 6-10 | 9 am-4 pm This journey around the world introduces campers to global art, artists, and cultures to inspire their own drawings, paintings, and prints. Using the museum’s collection, campers travel across Asia, Europe, and North America to study ancient and modern civilizations. Fill the summer with artsy memories
