Summer Adventures Camp: Writing Adventures
Location: Reynolda House Museum of American Art
Cost: $280 | Members or Friends at the Dual/Family level receive a 20% discount, applied at checkout
In this camp, children will engage their creativity as they explore works of art and areas on the grounds. Then, they will practice writing fiction, poetry, and more, inspired by their observations and thoughts about Reynolda’s collections. Participants will learn about all stages of the writing process, most especially focusing on prewriting and revision—culminating in the publication of their own hand-made book.
Returning families: Please note that the historic house portion of the museum and swimming pool will be closed during 2026 summer adventures camps while we undergo an HVAC renovation to help preserve Reynolda’s collections for the future. Students will take inspiration from the permanent collection featured in Layered Looking: Making Sense of Art and the estate.
Students should bring a snack and lunch.
For students who will have completed grades 2 – 5 during the 2025/26 school year.
