We know when Guilford County Schools are out, it’s hard to find something for your child to do. Sign them up for a day camp at the Miriam P. Brenner Children’s Museum, where they will make themed crafts and play fun, engaging activities all day long!
DIY Day Camp
Ages 8-10
January 27 | 8:30a-3p
$60 members | $65 non-members
If you have a maker, designer, diy-er, or artist at home, they are invited to come spend the day crafting with us! We’ll tap into our creativity while learning new techniques and working with a variety of tools and materials to make customized projects to enjoy in the new year. Campers will be encouraged to reflect on what sparks joy for them and how to bring those elements into a variety of projects like journal making, picture holders, keychains, and more!
A snack will be provided. Please pack a water bottle and unrefrigerated lunch.
All camps include hands-on, (sometimes with paint) play-based experiences. Encourage your child to dress for mess!
Dirt Detectives
Ages 4-6
February 17 | 8:30a-3p
$60 members | $65 non-members
Join us for a day of hands-on science play! As soil scientists, we will explore the amazing ecosystem that lies beneath our feet. From wiggly worm highways to cozy animal dens to incubating sleeping seeds, we’ll discover the many things our soil provides to sustain our planet and how to care for this incredible resource. Our day will include stories, soil-centric learning labs, crafts, and of course time to play in the Museum.
A snack will be provided. Please pack a water bottle and unrefrigerated lunch.

Cardboard Creatures
Ages 5-7
March 31 | 8:30a-3p
$60 members | $65 non-members
The ordinary becomes extraordinary as we turn plain cardboard into fantastical creations! The journey begins with a simple box where great ideas take shape. From there, we’ll roll up our sleeves and get to know the tools we’ll be using to bring these creatures to life. Campers can add unique features like wings, tails, or antennae to make their designs truly one of a kind. Whether they’re crafting a fierce dragon, a dazzling unicorn, or a brand-new species, kids will explore their creativity in a big way. Get ready to unleash your imagination, think outside the box, and have a roaring good time!

Design with Nature
Ages 8-10
March 31 | 8:30a-3p
$60 members | $65 non-members
Inspiration is right outside our doors! Today, we’ll explore the connections between nature and art as we work together on planning and implementing intentional design practices. Students can then use what they’ve learned to design and construct fairy houses for the Museum’s garden and their very own terrarium to take home.
