The Hive Themes

For curious kids who want to think, discover, and make things together.

The Hive Weekly Themes

This summer’s themes are inspired by art that transforms familiar objects and materials to challenge assumptions of ourselves, others, and the environment. Campers will explore artwork on view in the Museum, as well as the flora, fauna, and sculpture in the 30-acre Sculpture Park.

The hive Parent Testimonials

My daughters are LOVING camp! The instructors have been so great. I’m impressed with how well they have been able to not just accommodate but really embrace each child’s learning and engagement style.

My son was seen so holistically. I felt like the camp really got who is he and nurtured him and his creativity in the most empowering way. 

– Parent of hiver

Thinking about being an animal provided an opportunity to think like someone else, which is an important experience in building empathy. It also drove a lot of fun conversations in our household!
