"Art of Hildene" is being offered for two age groups 7-8 and 9-10. Children will interpret the beauty of the Lincoln family’s estate with hands-on exploration of various media.

A festive showcase of the artists’ creations caps the week.
There are camps appropriate for children from kindergarten to 6th grade and explore areas as diverse as forest, field or farm, wetland, pond or river. This summer’s staff, in addition to Newton and Gates, includes Rick LaDue, forest steward of Equinox Preservation Trust; Lavinia Lowerre, art educator; and Londonderry small scale farmer Mimi Wright.
Hildene camps are limited to 12 campers and are a week long. Except for "Young at Art," all camps run from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., and are held in the Lowerre Family Youth Education Building.
