Summer Camps for Ages 4 & 5
9 AM–Noon

Do you have a preschool aged child who would love to experience camp at Newfields? We’ve built a camp just for them based off our own Wee Wonders model. We invite a 4–5-year-old, and their grown-up, to join us from 9 AM–12 PM each day as we explore The Garden and IMA Galleries.

Newfields will be closed from January 20-26 for Rest & Refresh and will reopen with regular hours on Tuesday, January 28. The Virginia B. Fairbanks Art & Nature Park is always open from dawn to dusk. Rest & Refresh is a moment to reset after a busy holiday season and prepare to welcome guests back to Newfields for a transformational spring.
