Everyone’s favorite art and nature camp is back with SummerART at Van Vleck! Held exclusively at Van Vleck House and Gardens, campers will create works of art inspired by the abundant plant and animal life onsite. Flora and fauna abound in this secluded historic garden; from butterflies and beetles, to birds and buttercups, there is so much to explore!

Camp is held outdoors when weather permits, as well as in Van Vleck’s spacious Education Center. MAM’s professional teaching artists lead fun-filled projects featuring a variety of fine art materials and methods such as drawing, painting, sculpture, printmaking, and more. Campers will learn about the habits and habitats of animals, and create art inspired by the natural world while experimenting with a diverse array of media and means of creative expression.

COVID-19 safety guidelines for SummerART will be determined close to the start of camp based on CDC, state, and local guidelines and MAM policies, and are subject to change. Please check our Policies and Procedures for updates to our guidelines.
