Cecilia,
We don’t have a camp, but
we run a summer youth art program. It’s a 2.5 month long program from June-August.
Each class runs for one week 2 hours each day, morning sessions from 10-12noon
and afternoon sessions from 1-3pm. The parents drop their kids off 10min
before class, we hold the classes in an empty gallery adjacent to the museum,
up to 4 classes at a time. The gallery is staffed by the four teachers plus
one staff member who monitors the door and front desk. We arrange our classes
by age, 5-9 and 9-13, this allows the older children to take part in some art
activities that would be dangerous for younger children. The parents seem
happy to have their children separated by age, and as far as I know we have not
had any complaints.
I would also check out the Oasis
Day Camps, run out of Brooklyn, New York. They operate all over the city of
New York and parts of New Jersey. They divide their groups by age. http://www.oasischildren.com
Good luck!

Subject: [MUSEUM-L] Camp question
I have a question for you all…how many of you have
camp.
If you do—do you split up the kids by age?
How do the parents deal with that?
