Summer Art Camp
Make art. Make friends. Make summer unforgettable.
A seven-week summer arts program for children ages 5–12, led by skilled instructors in visual art, music, dance, and theatre.
Campers explore mixed media, painting, drawing, movement, performance, park play, and splash pad fun — all within a thoughtfully structured, arts-first environment guided by experienced, encouraging staff.
Through hands-on projects, creative play, and outdoor fun, children build real skills, develop confidence, form friendships, and discover what they’re capable of.
Session Dates
Choose the sessions that work for your family.
Our seven-week program is divided into four self-contained sessions.
While each session follows the same daily structure, every one has its own theme and unique set of projects in music, dance, theatre, and visual arts — so campers who attend multiple sessions experience new creative arcs each time.

What Your Child Will Do
Every day is filled with creativity, movement, and self-expression.
Art Class
Your child will learn about artists and art techniques, exploring drawing and painting in a supportive environment.
Mixed Media
From sculpture and 3D art to filmmaking, your child will discover different artists, techniques, and creative media.
Theatre
Your child will learn acting techniques, play theatre games, and rehearse a play for the end-of-session show.
Music
Explore music genres, join a choir, play percussion instruments, and prepare for the end-of-session performance!
Dance
Learn choreography across different styles including ballet, hip hop, jazz, and contemporary dance.
Splash Pad
Campers will also visit the local splash pad weekly (or daily when it's hot!).
The Nook
A calm, welcoming space where any child can take a break during the day. Staffed by trained Social Integrators, The Nook is also a key part of how we support children with additional needs — but it's open and welcoming to everyone.
Note: there are no swimming lessons this year, but we plan to return to regular aquatic programming at the civic centre next summer.
A Typical Day at Camp
Here's what a day at camp looks like. Age groups are colour-coded:
Monday through Thursday follow a consistent daily schedule, with campers rotating through focused blocks of visual art, mixed media, music, theatre, and dance.
In each class, children learn techniques and work on creative projects that build toward the theme of their session, with scheduled lunch and outdoor breaks built into the day.
Fridays shift gears slightly. Campers enjoy special workshops and fun activities that offer variety and a break from their regular projects.
On the final Friday of each session, campers present an internal showcase performance to share what they’ve been working on in their performing arts classes.
At the end of the summer, Session 4 campers perform at our Family Night celebration, and artwork from all sessions is displayed for families to enjoy.
Each group has a maximum of 15–20 campers for personalized attention. If one age group is full, children may be placed in a neighbouring age group.
What to Bring Each Day
Please make sure your child comes prepared
Lunch & Snacks
Parents are responsible for providing lunch, snacks, and a water bottle each day. On Fridays, families can opt to purchase pizza lunch for their child.
Children with Additional Needs
We believe every child deserves the opportunity to explore their creativity. Our specially trained Social Integrators collaborate with our team to provide individualized support, using adaptive strategies that help each child participate fully and confidently.
We welcome children of all abilities. During registration, if your child has a diagnosis, an aide in class, or sensory or communication needs, you'll be asked to request our Additional Needs Form. Our director will follow up personally to ensure we can provide the right support for your child.
