Create Projects in an Open, Fun Environment
Create Campers use design-thinking processes to explore the fields of art, architecture, and design. Our camps introduce a variety of materials and concepts—evoking curiosity and honing critical thinking—while encouraging individual creativity and self-expression. Create Camps teach kids how to look at, talk about, and create art!
Look at Artwork in the Museum
Create Camps look at art, architecture, and design objects in our galleries–and in our vaults! All camps include behind-the-scenes vault experiences to look, listen, and learn about artworks–to inspire art-making in the studios! We’ll look at artwork (in-person or online) in the Museum’s galleries and vaults.
Learn from Teaching Artists
Our Teaching Artists are experienced artists, architects, and designers! Teaching Artists connect the processes and concepts behind artwork in the museum with age-appropriate projects and techniques.
COVID-19 UPDATE
At a minimum, Cranbrook’s COVID-related protocols will comply with applicable State of Michigan mandates and align with Oakland Country Health Division and American Camp Association. As we progress through the pandemic and towards the summer season, we may alter, cancel, or replace certain aspects of camp. If we do, this web page will be updated and registrants will be notified by email. Depending on the severity of a change, we may offer registrants a full refund should the adjustment not suit their interest. Otherwise, our regular cancellation policy remains in effect. You may view a summary of the policy in the Tuition & Fees section below or read the full policy in the Enrollment Agreement during the registration process.
