Kids Camps at GCV&M

Throughout the year at Genesee Country Village & Museum, we offer exciting camps that immerse children in history, art, and science! Keep scrolling to learn more about our Spring Break Camp and Summer Camp offerings for kids. 

Spring Break Camp

April 14 - 18, 2025

Spring into the new season with GCV&M! Are you looking for something for your child to do during spring break this year? Look no further! Spring into fun with a weeklong day camp that gives your child a taste of everything GCV&M has to offer.

Summer Camp

July 7 – August 22, 2025

Make summer memories that last a lifetime! An amazing experience at the perfect time! Give your child the gift of learning and fun across the wide-open spaces of the GCV&M Historic Village, Nature Center, and now the John L. Wehle Art Gallery. Campers can experience 19th-century fun and games, explore nature up close and get out on the trails, or create one-of-a-kind works of art.

Family Camp Days

August 27 – 29, 2025

Come take a peek at what we do in camp at GCV&M!  You can join us for one, two, or all three days of our first Family Camps.  Whether your little one isn’t quite ready to attend camp by themselves or you are just looking for a chance for the whole family to join in the camp fun, we are here for one last family-bonding hoorah before the summer is over!  

Become a Volunteer Camp Assistant!

Is your child too old for camp, but still looking for ways to stay engaged during school breaks? Great! We offer valuable youth leadership training in the form of a Volunteer Class Assistant Program for spring break and summer camps! Participants in this program will gain hands-on experience working within a nationally accredited living history museum. They will assist with camp activities under the mentorship of one of our experienced camp teachers. In order to qualify, applicants must be at least 15-years-old and have attended at least one week of camp or volunteered for 20 hours or more in the Historic Village or Nature Center.

Apply today by completing the youth application form.  If you have any questions, please email camp@gcv.org to reach our Camp Manager.

Camp Hard Hat

This week-long day camp (taught by BOCES Building Trades instructors) provides students ages 12-15 the opportunity to build a community project in a regional attraction. Campers will learn the principles of design and construction, project safety, and the power of teamwork which, along with the hands-on construction, may propel the campers into their future careers!
