Does my child need previous experience with art making to participate?
No previous art experience is needed. All ability levels are welcome!
What makes an artist a “master?”
A master artist usually isn’t defined by one single trait—it’s a combination of exceptional creativity, skill, and profound impact on art and culture. Your camper will learn about different master artists throughout the week, taking a close look at original works of art on the Museum walls!
When can I register my child?
Registration opens on February 2, 2026.
What is the staff-to-camper ratio?
Our group ratio will be 10:1 (10 campers to 1 staff member).
Is lunch provided?
Lunch is not provided. You will receive a full checklist of items your camper should have every day in the Summer Camp Welcome Packet upon registration.
What is the procedure for drop-off and pick-up?
Caregivers must check in and check out at the Welcome Desk located by the main entrance of the Museum, at 31 North Fifth Street in Allentown, PA. All caregivers must be listed in the Pick-Up Authorization Form. Additional information about camper drop-off and pick-up will be in the Summer Camp Welcome Packet sent via email.
Free parking is available in the visitor lot next to the Museum on Fifth and Linden Streets. On-street metered parking on Fifth Street and on Linden Street is also available.
Do you offer early drop-off and late pick-up options?
Yes, we offer early drop-off and after-camp care options for your camper. We cannot accommodate drop-ins. Campers must be preregistered for this service. Day-of registration is not available. Please see the pricing section for more details.
What is your cancellation policy?
Withdrawal from camp no less than two weeks before the first day will allow for a refund of the total fee minus 25% administrative costs. No refund will be offered after two weeks before the first day of camp.
Are there financial aid or scholarship opportunities?
While we are not able to offer financial aid in 2026, our first year of operation, we understand how important access and affordability are for families. We are actively researching funding opportunities and partnerships to support the creation of camp scholarships in 2027 and beyond.
What if my camper requires special attention due to physical, emotional, educational, or medical needs?
Please let us know on the Emergency/Health History Form if your camper has physical, emotional, educational, or medical needs so we can ensure a safe and successful week at camp.
If your camper requires special accommodations, please reach out to discuss prior to registering. Contact Margie Makowski, Manager of Accessibility, at mmakowski@allentownartmuseum.org with the subject line “SUMMER CAMP.”
What if my camper becomes ill or injured while attending camp?
Our staff will notify you by phone immediately in any case of illness or injury. The AAM Security team is the first responder to all emergencies.
Do I get a refund if my camper is sick?
There are no refunds after two weeks before the first day of camp.
Do I get a refund if my camper is asked to leave camp due to behavioral issues?
There are no refunds for behavior-related withdrawals. During the registration process, we ask that you read and discuss our Camper Code of Conduct with your child. The Camper Code of Conduct will be included in your Summer Camp Welcome Packet.
