Winter Break Day Camps at the Frazier Museum 

 

Just as students begin their Winter Break - and parents finish up their holiday shopping - the Frazier Museum will offer a series of full-day programming to explore the traditional music, games, tastes, and unique festivities of year-end celebrations from all corners of the globe. (Please Note: Although many of the celebrations we will discover are born out of deeply held spiritual beliefs, this programming will focus on traditions, not religions.)
