WHAT: Carnegie Museums of Art and Natural History are thrilled to announce the return of summer camps for the 2021 season!

From throwing a clay pot to identifying specimens from the natural world, Carnegie Museums of Art and Natural History offer a range of in-person activities for creative kids and nature lovers alike in a safe environment. More information about specific camp themes and dates is available at camps.artandnaturalhistory.org.
