Summer Camps

Camp at Cranbrook offers a wide range of options designed to suit any need or interest. The chance to work in an actual artist’s studio, study fossils that are more than a hundred million years old, swim in a natatorium designed by an internationally renowned architect, or create your own art museum and select the art that goes in it, whatever your camper’s age or aspiration the Cranbrook Camp experience is never mundane. Open a world of creativity, exploration, and discovery for your child!

Cranbrook Art Museum

Design, sketch, build, invent – CREATE CAMPS (grades K-9) are for making! Camps are held in the Cranbrook Academy of Art studios with multiple visits to the Art Museum each week to  explore contemporary and traditional art and design processes. Campers discover hands-on activities in the studio, and learn collaborative problem solving through observation and creation, in a fun and relaxed atmosphere. Creativity and self-expression are encouraged!

MINI MAKERS are half-day camps for students starting Kindergarten in the fall. Make projects inspired by collections, exhibitions, and create camp sessions. Each week of Mini Makers is different – enjoy a variety of topics and techniques each week!
