The art camp hasn’t been held at the museum for the last two years due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The camp was held via a Zoom gathering and campers worked on projects together with the materials sent out by mail and led by instructors. This year the camp started in person on the third week of June and runs through the second week of August. Camps are set up by grade levels 1-3 and 4-6 on alternate weeks. Middle school age runs for two weeks and the Wee Faerie Camp for ages 4-6 ran for three days in July. (Dana Jensen/The Day)
