MoCA Arlington Summer Camp

MoCA Arlington’s Summer Camp 2026 runs from June 22 through August 21 and offers a broad range of creative visual arts experiences for children and teens ages 5 through 18. The program is organized by age group—5–7, 8–10, 11–14, and 14–18—and takes place at multiple locations: the museum’s main building at 3550 Wilson Blvd in Arlington, Marymount University’s main campus at 2807 N Glebe Rd, and MoCA’s Innovation Studio & Store at 525 14th Street S. Campers explore both two‑dimensional and three‑dimensional media, learn about contemporary artists and techniques, and may get to tour the museum’s galleries for inspiration. Full‑day, half‑day, and teen‑only options are available, with complimentary before‑and‑after care offered for certain age groups at the MoCA Arlington and Innovation Studio locations.
