This summer, curiosity takes center stage at Akron Children’s Museum! Get ready for four exciting weeks packed with creativity, discovery, and hands-on S.T.E.A.M. adventures. Whether your camper loves science, technology, art, engineering, or simply making amazing things, our summer camp series is the perfect place to explore, experiment, and imagine.
Summer Camp is designed for children ages 5–9 and runs from 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM each day. For families who need a little extra flexibility, before-care and after-care options are available.
Campers can join us for one week or dive into the full four-week experience. Each themed week features interactive challenges, creative projects, and collaborative problem-solving that encourage kids to think big, test ideas, and learn through play while making new friends.
Polymer Playtime
June 22–26
Explore the fascinating world of polymers, the materials that shape so much of our everyday lives. Campers will investigate how different materials behave while experimenting, building, and creating with flexible and innovative substances.
Robotics & Coding
July 6–10
Discover the basics of computer science and robotics through fun, hands-on challenges. Campers will explore how machines follow instructions, practice problem-solving, and learn the foundational ideas behind coding and technology.
Creative Cosmos
July 13–17
Blast off into a week of space science and engineering as campers imagine life beyond Earth. Participants will design a moon base, brainstorm lunar lander concepts, explore space physics, and experiment with how moon craters form while tackling creative design challenges inspired by real space exploration.
Stitch ’N Style
August 3–7
This creative week focuses on fashion, textiles, and fiber arts. Campers will explore how clothing and fabric items are designed while experimenting with creative techniques that encourage personal style and artistic expression.
At Akron Children’s Museum Summer Camp, learning happens through hands-on discovery, creativity, and collaboration. Our experienced educators guide campers through engaging activities designed to spark curiosity, build confidence, and inspire a love of learning.
