Registration for summer 2026 opens on March 9 at 10 a.m.!
We eagerly await your budding artists in one of our vibrant sessions this year. To quench your creative thirst in the meantime, be sure to come to the Museum and take part in our family activities!
Daycampers will get the chance to thoroughly explore the Museum through fun and exciting tours aimed at stimulating their imagination and creativity and will immerse themselves in projects based on what inspires them.
In this unique day camp, the children will travel across time and styles as they discover the myriad artists and works in the MMFA’s exhibitions. Back in the studio, they will be encouraged to express themselves using a variety of creative techniques, themes and methods. They will also carry out two- and three-dimensional projects using all sorts of materials in a relaxed atmosphere.
At the end of the week, the children will present their artwork to their friends and family in an exhibition that they mount themselves. An experience that promises lifelong memories and new friendships!

Cancellation policy
In the event you need to cancel your Day Camp registration, we ask that you inform us at least 10 business days before the start of the session, so that we can offer the spot to another child and minimize losses.

In the event of cancellations made midway through the camp session, you will be refunded for the days not attended, minus a 10% fee.
Accessibility
The Merlin Fund and Lethbridge Fund were established to give children from low-income families an opportunity to develop their artistic talents. The financial support received from these funds enables children aged 6 to 14 who are referred by our partner community organizations to attend the Museum Day Camp for free.
