Welcome to our exciting summer camp at Oceanside Museum of Art! Our camp is designed to be a fun and engaging experience for children who have an interest in art and creative expression. During this camp, children will have the opportunity to explore the art museum in a unique way, learning about art and art-making while having fun and making new friends.

Week 2: June 26-30

Leave No Trace Art-eest!

How can the art you make, make a difference? This camp will look at ways we can create dynamic and vibrant art from naturally found materials. Campers will make their own paint after isolating pigments from natural materials and make their own unique paper from recycled materials. They will look at tide pools and how they change, then practice plein air painting using paint they created. Their artwork will be included in the Plein Air festival at OMA in July.

What to Expect

Creative activities: We have a range of hands-on activities planned for children, including drawing, painting, collage, sculpting, and more. Check back in during the next month to find out more details of what we will specifically offer.

Exciting gallery tours: Children will get a firsthand look at the museum’s pieces and learn about the artists and techniques behind their work.

Special guests: We will be hosting some special guests, including local artists and experts in the arts and education field.
