Children's Summer Camps

The Museum runs a number of summer camps each year. Our goal in the program is to provide both an entertaining and educational experience for your kids. While we don’t do many of these programs, we pride ourselves on doing them well. 

The summer program begins with the Creative Spark Week Camp, a day-long camp done in conjunction with The Arts Council of Greenwood County, and Greenwood Community Theatre.
