Susquehanna Art Museum Summer Camps | Creative Exploration for Kids + Teen Artists
HANDS-ON ART • MUSEUM EXPERIENCE • REAL TECHNIQUES
If your child is constantly creating, sketching, building, or turning random household objects into “art”… this is their kind of summer.
Susquehanna Art Museum’s summer programs invite kids and teens to step into a real art environment, explore museum galleries, and create their own work using a wide range of materials and techniques. Each camp blends creativity, skill-building, and just enough structure to keep things inspiring without feeling rigid.
