Children’s Natural History & Art Program

The Water Mill Museum The Water Mill Museum

A new specialized summer program is coming to Southampton this July, offering local youth a unique opportunity to experience science and art in a highly personalized setting on a stunning historic property. The Children’s Natural History & Art Program will run from July 20–24, 2026, operating daily morning sessions from 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM.

Designed specifically for children ages 9 to 12, this innovative program bridges the gap between environmental science and creative expression. Participants will serve as both field scientists and studio artists, using the unique natural history of Mecox Bay as their core inspiration.

Throughout the week-long program, students will engage in hands-on ecological exploration, including testing local water quality and studying native aquatic insects. After examining real insect anatomy and inventing their own imaginary wetland creatures, students will transition into their art and studio session.
