Unique Experience of Art in Nature
This summer, the Lynden Sculpture Garden introduces new art camps for children ages 6 to 12 and a pre-college portfolio building week for young artists entering grades 9 through 12.
The two- and five-day camps integrate Lynden’s collection of monumental outdoor sculpture with the natural ecology of our 40 acres of park, ponds, and woodland, creating a unique hands-on experience of art in nature. Camps feature environmental programs, visits from exhibiting and performing artists, and the opportunity to explore a wide variety of art media in our newly renovated art studio. Each camp concludes with an informal showing for family and friends. Lynden Sculpture Garden members receive a discount on camp fees.
The Lynden Sculpture Garden is located at 2145 West Brown Deer Road, Milwaukee, WI 53217. Complete information and registration forms at
