Overview

Looking for a summer camp that blends genuine hands-on learning with real museum magic? The Westchester Children’s Museum is thrilled to offer our STEAM drop-off program—designed for kids who want to build, explore, and create, and for parents who need reliable, enriching care.

Our summer camp is designed for two distinct age groups, each with a tailored schedule to maximize engagement and fun:

• Explorers (Ages 5-7): Young innovators will enjoy a dynamic schedule blending creative workshops, craft time in our Makerspace, guided play, and snack breaks—all designed to spark their curiosity.

• Discoverers (Ages 8-10): Older children will dive deeper with a schedule tailored to challenge and engage, featuring immersive workshops, hands-on building and crafts, group activities, and social free play.

Each day, your child will explore interactive exhibits, dive into guided workshops, and bring home projects they can’t stop talking about.
