Play, Imagine, Discover, Create. Join us for summer fun at Newfields. Participate in weeklong adventures with nature and the arts. Visit the galleries inside the Indianapolis Museum of Art, a historic mansion (complete with a secret staircase), The Garden bursting with blooms, and an outdoor art and nature park. Learn alongside an accomplished team of educators. Experiment with traditional and nontraditional materials, make a portfolio of work to take home, and share that work with your family during an end of the week exhibition.

How to Register

This year, Summer Camps at Newfields will only be available for Newfields Members at the Family Level and above.

January 6-13 Submit your family lottery application

January 14-21 Newfields will randomize applications and process registrations
