Each summer, Smithsonian Associates offers transformative internships to college students who help deliver vibrant and memorable hands-on learning experiences to more than 1,000 children in our summer camps on the National Mall in Washington, D.C. For many interns, a paid opportunity makes all the difference.
Because of your generous support in 2025, we had the privilege of welcoming three dedicated interns who brought energy, creativity, and talent to our Summer Camp program. With your continued partnership in 2026, we can make this opportunity possible again this summer for three more interns.
Your support will once again help us attract the best and brightest candidates and ensure that these talented and passionate young adults—regardless of financial background—can access these life-changing roles and build skills in museum education, project management, event planning, and problem solving.
Smithsonian Summer Camp offers one-of-a-kind learning experiences that spark the imagination and engages campers with Smithsonian museums, their exhibits, and their themes.
