The Michael C. Carlos Museum marks 17 years of providing exceptional summer programs in which children and teenagers explore the human impulse to create works of art. Camp Carlos offers participants imaginative and innovative opportunities to explore the ways in which people throughout time and across cultures have taken elements from the earth and created works of art, and how contemporary artists still use many of the same materials and techniques that have been used for thousands of years. In the galleries, campers learn from skilled artists of the ancient world and, in the studio, from some of Atlanta's best practicing artists. A summer of imagination and creativity await your child at Camp Carlos!
