Summer Camp Update
Updated 5.12.2020
For the safety and well-being of our campers, guests, volunteers and staff, Newfields has made the decision to cancel all Summer Camps scheduled for the summer due to the outbreak of Coronavirus (COVID-19). This decision was not made lightly, but we feel it is necessary to support the health of our community. We will miss your campers this summer, and look forward to inviting you back to campus as a guest when it is safe to do so.
Summer Camp
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.
