Learning shouldn’t end just because the school year is over! Edwardsville Children’s Museum hosts summer camps for kids of all ages that are designed for fun, built around a variety of themes, and tied to education to prevent the “summer slide.”
During summer camp, participants will have the chance to discover new talents, boost their independence, gain confidence, and create friendships with kids from across Madison County.
Make your child’s summer one to remember by enrolling them in an ECM camp today!
All multi day camps also include admission to the museum the day of the camp (except Wednesdays) for each registered camper.
Registration Info: Registration ends 1 week before the program start date. Programs may cancel due to low enrollment.
