Abu Dhabi Culture Summer Camp

Home Abu Dhabi Culture Summer Camp

Overview

This summer, give your children more than just a break — give them an adventure.

The Abu Dhabi Culture Summer Camp bring together some of the emirate's most iconic museums, studios, and cultural sites through four uniquely themed camp experiences designed for children and young adults.

Each camp is a cross-site journey of discovery, where children move between museums, performance spaces, heritage sites, and creative studios, learning through creating, performing, and exploring.

From the origins of life and human creativity across Saadiyat Cultural District, to hands-on heritage practices at Qasr Al Hosn and the House of Artisans, to multi-disciplinary artistic expression at Cultural Foundation and Bait Al Oud — every site becomes a different classroom, and every experience opens a new world of ideas, skills, and imagination.

Whether your child is a budding artist, a curious explorer, or a future performer, there’s a journey waiting for them.
