BANGOR — The University of Maine Museum of Art’s 11th annual Summer Art Camp will begin in late June with the first of seven week-long sessions where children can have a fun, educational art experience at the downtown Bangor museum. A professional museum educator will lead each session.
Classes will be Monday-Friday each week, from 8:30 a.m.-noon each day, according to the following schedule:
Session 1: 6/29-7/03 Grades 1 – 2
Session 2: 7/06-7/10 Grades 5 – 6

Session 6: 8/03-8/07 Grades 3 – 4
Session 7: 8/10-8/14 Grades 1 – 2
Sessions are held in the museum classroom and galleries. Campers will have the opportunity to view and talk about art and participate in a wide array of hands-on art activities. Projects may include painting, printmaking, photography, sculpture and drawing. Children also enjoy time outdoors to draw, paint and photograph in one of Bangor’s beautiful parks adjacent to the museum. Each week is packed with activities including scavenger hunts, gallery games, and a Friday reception and art show for family and friends.
New this year are a weekly snack chat and behind the scenes tour with museum director George Kinghorn.
