\"SummerCamp14\"<\/a>OXFORD, Miss. \u2013 While spring has only just begun, the University Museum is already planning ahead for summer. This year, a variety of\u00a0<\/span>summer camp sessions<\/a>\u00a0<\/span>will have children traveling back in time, journeying to faraway\u00a0lands and creating art inspired by their surroundings.<\/p>\n

Camps begin the week of June 9 and continue through the week of July 28. Each session lasts one week, Monday-Friday. For family-level museum members, the fee is $50 for each weeklong camp session per participant. For nonmembers, the fee is $80. All supplies and snacks are included.<\/p>\n

Space is limited and pre-registration is required. Parents can pick up a registration form at the museum or\u00a0<\/span>download a copy here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The exciting and\u00a0educational camps are inspired by the museum’s collections, including rarely-seen artifacts from the museum vault.<\/p>\n

“The museum’s summer camp program provides a unique opportunity for children to explore their own creativity while viewing thousands of years’ worth of art and artifacts” said Emily Dean, UM Museum curator of education. “Among the most affordable in town, our summer camps promise to engage young learners while also providing hours of fun.”<\/p>\n

From ancient civilizations to modern marvels and all points in between, each session promises new adventures, so even children who participated last year will find new experiences. Besides camp sessions for children entering grades 1 through 5, a special “Meet me at the Museum \u2013 Mini Masters” session will provide fun and learning for children ages 3 to 5, and the adults who join them. (Due to university policy, children under 5 must be accompanied by an adult.) “All About Art: Middle School Edition” will introduce children entering grades 6-8 to illustrating, painting, drawing, sculpting and more.<\/p>\n
