Designed for kids and adults to attend together, each of the four mini camps offered by the Heard Museum explores a different topic and includes indoor and outdoor activities, as well as a take-home project. Each camp runs from 9:30 a.m. to noon.

The camps are intended for children ages 5 or older and adults. Children must be accompanied by an adult 18 years or older. Each adult may be accompanied by up to four children. Participants should also wear clothing appropriate for spending time outside walking on uneven terrain.
