Fun and Learning at the Museum!
The Putnam Education department offers a diverse selection of full day, and half day camps for kids from kindergarten through sixth grade. Our camps are designed to provide a fun and educational experience for your child.
From exploring science and technology to discovering the world of art and culture, our camps are the perfect way to keep your child engaged and entertained while school is out of session.
Each camp is led by experienced educators and includes hands-on activities, games, and experiments. Plan to give your child an experience they’ll never forget!
