The Schulz Museum is working to assess and implement safety and health measures for July and August in-person camps at the Museum, however it remains unknown if these camps will be viable. Please find information below about the in-person camps we hope to offer. Activities, themes, and instructors are all subject to change due to health and safety considerations. While we are busy planning, we hope you enjoy our online classes in June, listed below. We look forward to welcoming you back to the Museum once the conditions are safe.
