Drawing from the renowned collection of early Americana at Bayou Bend, the curriculum for this virtual summer camp will inspire young artists, historians, and scholars. Activities range from exploring trees to topics like pottery, memory games, photography, needlepoint, music, and more. Each virtual session allows campers to engage with the works of art and learn how to become historians and storytellers.
