After 17 years at the Fairmount Park Horticulture Center, we are thrilled to have the Maguire Museum as a new partner and host location for our Camp Ginkgo. The museum provides a beautiful and safe environment filled with art and extensive landscape and gardens for the children to explore and be inspired.
WPCC has consistently offered this summer arts and nature program since 2002. This program, commencing right after the July 4 holiday, provides meaningful experiences that children have cherished for years. Children will work on special projects with professional artists, exploring visual arts, theatre, and photography. In addition to artmaking, there are field trips, swimming, and other recreational activities.
St. Joseph University’s Maguire Museum (the former Barnes Foundation) located at 50 Lapsley Lane will be the camp host. The museum is about sharing and celebrating the power of art and education with the community in their fifteen galleries. The grounds are a hidden treasure filled with magnificent specimens of rare trees, plant collections, and breathtaking blooms. The beautiful gardens and park-like spaces provide another beautiful environment for the children.
We are thrilled to have the Maguire Museum as our new camp host, to further expand our community collaborations and enhancing the camp experience for children.
