Need-based scholarships are available.
July 13-17 Express Yourself!
This week is all about YOU! Adventurous artists will find inspiration in the Museum’s collection and embark on creative DIY projects each day. Show off your personal style through upcycled accessories, make your own Museum diorama, and design puppets that are entirely YOU-nique. On Family Night, enjoy a virtual performance combining art, acrobatics, and marvelous music with the Tanglewood Marionettes.
July 20-24 Nature Makers
Explore nature, environmental sciences, and animals too. Immerse yourself in learning about the extraordinary natural world around us. Design a fairy village or treehouse hideaway, learn about clouds with a REAL meteorologist, paint a flowerpot and fill it with dirt that you can eat, and make a mixed-media canvas featuring your favorite farm animal. On Family Night, change into your jammies for a PJ Party at Rose Hill with the cuddly goats of Bradley Mountain Farm.
July 27-31 Peek into the Past
Travel back in time this week to learn all about what kids did for fun before TV, iPhones, and Tik Tok. Design a time machine, explore your dramatic side in a theater workshop, go on an architectural scavenger hunt, build a miniature dream home inspired by the historic Rose Hill Mansion, and more. On Family Night, all are invited to a virtual evening performance with activist and historical superhero, Susan B. Anthony.
