Coral Gables Museum City Trekker Camp image1

 

 

 

 

Coral Gables Museum Membership link


City Trekker Summer Camp at the new Coral Gables Museum offers 5 weeks of fun educational activities for children ages 5-12, from June 21 through August 13. City Trekker Summer Camp explores the City of Coral Gables though a variety of disciplines and takes advantage of all the cultural destinations and activities that The City Beautiful has to offer.

 

Through special presentations, art activities and field trips that will support weekly themes, campers will come to better understand their natural and built environments. Campers will learn about architecture, landscape design, art, urban planning, as well as historic and environmental preservation.

The Coral Gables Museum provides a safe place to create, play and learn. Family and friends are invited to join us every Friday at 4pm for Friday Finales, special presentations featuring creative projects and accomplishments from the campers’ week-long adventures.
