MOPOP Summer Camps

Make this summer unforgettable.

At MOPOP’s creative camps, young artists and adventurers step behind the camera, onto the stage, and straight into worlds of their own making.

MOPOP hosts week-long camps for creative kids ages 6–18, with sessions running July 13 through August 7.

Scholarships and installment plans available to help every young creator join the fun.

Choose Your Own Adventure

From directing original music videos to crafting fantasy and sci-fi games through STEAM-based creativity to unleashing their inner performer through the art of drag, every experience blends creativity, hands-on magic, and the kind of summer joy that keeps growing long after August.
