Art and Ecology Summer Camp

We are excited to offer week-long summer camps designed for children ages 7–13. Our goal is to provide a place where kids can be creative while learning hands-on from local artists. School may be out, but art and history are in at the MAH!

Camp Description

In this one-week camp led by artist Jesica Evanjelista, campers will use our galleries and exhibitions as a source of inspiration to become muralists. Jessica will create daily activities, and we will finish the week with a showcase of everyone's work. Plus, they’ll gain a first-hand look at how a working artist creates murals across Santa Cruz and beyond.

This camp runs from 9 am to 1 pm. The MAH will also be offering additional child care at an extra cost from 1 pm to 3 pm for those interested in staying past 1 pm. We encourage you to sign up before space runs out! Space is limited to 20 campers; snacks and materials are included with registration.

If you have any questions, you can contact us at ZWR1Y2F0aW9uIHwgc2FudGFjcnV6bWFoICEgb3Jn.
