Tap into your inner superhero or animated character

Create alongside a professional cartoonist. Sculpt with modelling clay, learn the art of storyboarding, illustrate your own mini-book, and make your own trading cards.

Our innovative day camp encourages exciting connections with art, culture and nature! Full-day programs emphasize self-expression, allowing young artists to create and explore in a lively indoor studio setting and enjoy outdoor fun in neighbouring Grange Park.

Painting, drawing, printmaking, multimedia, sculpting and digital art are just some of the techniques we use. We combine the creative process with play and skills development to provide a full experience for even the most energetic and talented camper.

Our Art Camp instructors are professional artists with extensive teaching experience. Our specially trained counsellors ensure safe and active fun for your child.
