Camp Create at the Museum of Art – DeLand is back for Summer 2026! Our 6-week summer camp program will be available for 6-12 year olds from June 8 – July 25. Camp Create runs Monday-Friday from 9 a.m. – 4 p.m. This summer, Camp Create student artists dive into a new art adventure each week! They’ll explore hands-on 2D and 3D projects, enjoy two daily art sessions, and take breaks for snacks, lunch, and games. Visits to the Museum’s galleries enhance the educational experience and provide additional motivation and inspiration. Small groups ensure personalized attention, and no prior art experience is needed. The themes change each week so campers may register for more than one session.
