Come spend the summer with us at Camp Newark Museum, a fun, innovative six-week experience where children expand their knowledge through the exploration of the Museum’s world-class art and science collections. Arouse curiosity by investigating treasures made by man and by nature to gain a new perspective on the world around us. Campers transform materials using their imagination through our hands-on, inquiry-driven S.T.E.M. curriculum, while also getting an insider’s view of the Museum’s expansive galleries.

In the words of a camp parent, “This camp rocks...[It’s] the magic, the intangibles, that enhance the program beyond measure. Camp Newark Museum is a S.T.E.A.M. program…joining a handful of trailblazing programs adding the Arts to S.T.E.M.(Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math).  The children don’t just study stars and dissect cow eyes, they sing, they dance, they study world-renowned and little-known artists, they draw and paint and mold, glass-blowing, maker-spacing, soul-inspiring ART. It’s outrageously wonderful.”

Each week your child will participate in:

  • Daily insider’s tours of one or more of the Museum's 80 art and science galleries
  • Art-making including drawing, painting, ceramics, printmaking, jewelry, and sculpture
  • Science labs such as nanotechnology, natural sciences, renewable energy and astronomy
  • Makerspace workshops from low tech to high tech, from sewing to soldering to circuitry
  • Performance art, including theater arts, dance and spoken word
  • Planetarium shows in the Museum’s Alice & Leonard Dreyfuss Planetarium
  • Jazz concerts in the garden and the Newark Black Film Festival Youth Cinema
  • Outdoor activities in the Museum’s sculpture garden
  • Performance Showcase and Art Exhibitions of campers’ work on Fridays for parents
