We’re partnering with The Works Museum and Stages Theatre Company to bring some of their favorite camps to Minnesota Children’s Museum!
Spring break camps will take place the weeks of March 23 and March 30.
Summer camps will be scheduled throughout June, July and August.
Spring Break Camps
Spend your spring break exploring the performing arts! Designed for kids in kindergarten through 2nd grade, spring camps are taught by a professional teaching artist from Stages Theatre Company. Each week-long, full day camp will run Monday through Friday and will culminate with a performance on the last day where students will share what they’ve learned.
Camps take place at Minnesota Children’s Museum in downtown St. Paul.
MEMBER DISCOUNT: Museum members save 10% by using code MCM2026 at registration.
TUITION ASSISTANCE: Need-based tuition assistance is available for spring camps through Stages Theatre Company’s Open Door Program. To apply, submit the tuition assistance application.

Together, we’ll evade red herrings, dodge evil foes and solve the world’s greatest, and most puzzling, mysteries at the museum (and in our imaginations)!

Costumes should be comfortable, easy to move in, and have close-backed shoes. Students will have time to change during the day and should not plan to wear their costumes all day.
Visiting the Museum
There will be a flyer available each day for parents/caregivers to grab that will offer $2 off for adults and other children. Campers will have free admission. This coupon works anytime between the start of camp thru the summer. Campers can stay and play on the last day of camp or come back on a Saturday later to play and still be free. They just need to grab the flyer.
