Registration for 2025 Summer Camp opens February 5!
From July 2 to August 29, 2025
Get ready for a summer filled with endless creativity and fun at ML Kids Summer Camp! Running all summer long, our action-packed, all-day camps offer the perfect mix of dynamic art-making, outdoor exploration, and inspiring visits from local artists, ensuring an unforgettable experience.
Camps run daily from 9:00 am to 4:00 pm. For added convenience, extended care packages are available for Before Care (8:00 to 8:30 am) and After Care (4:30 to 5:00pm).
Whether your child is a budding artist or just loves to explore new ideas, they’ll thrive in our fully equipped studio space, where they will dive into hands-on art projects, experiment with new techniques, and work with a variety of materials with guidance from our Art Instructors. Each week, a talented artist from the London area will visit to share their craft, giving campers the unique opportunity to learn from professionals. From painting to sculpture, drawing to animation, every day will bring campers new creative opportunities to express themselves and grow their artistic skill.
But the fun doesn’t stop in the studio! Campers will also take part in exhibition tours, explore our neighborhood and museum grounds on guided nature walks, cool off at the nearby splash pad, and enjoy outdoor games and activities that encourage movement, teamwork, and fun.
ML Kids Summer Camp is designed for children ages 6 to 12, with campers divided into two age groups: Juniors (ages 6–9) and Intermediates (ages 10–12). Campers must be the correct age for their registered camp on the start date of that camp. Proof of age may be required, before or during camp sessions. All program waivers and forms, including camper medical information, must be completed in Uplifter before you are able to complete registration. Incomplete or inaccurate information may result in the camper’s removal from camps.
All campers will receive a limited-edition camp t-shirt designed by a local artist, creating a lasting memory of their creative summer at Museum London.
Spaces are limited, so be sure to register today for a summer your child will never forget!
