At Carnegie Museums of Art and Natural History,
you have two museums to explore!

Museum summer camps deliver the world! The entire museum campus is a field for discovery and creativity, where kids investigate Earth, art, dance, science, and more through behind-the-scenes tours, hands-on encounters, and exciting activities. Weeklong half- and full-day camps accommodate children from age 4 through high school.

Summer camps at the museums take full advantage of exciting permanent exhibitions like the Scaife Galleries of ancient to contemporary art, the Ailsa Mellon Bruce Galleries of decorative arts and design, Walton Hall of Ancient Egypt, and the thrilling Dinosaurs in Their Time. Partnerships with Carnegie Mellon School of Architecture and Powdermill Nature Reserve, the environmental research center of Carnegie Museum of Natural History, broaden experiences beyond the museum.
