Participants are grouped by the grade they are entering in September. This is typically: JK-SK, Gr 1-3, Gr 4-6 but will vary depending on the week.

What kinds of art do we do at camp? Each week, we use a wide variety of art media to create special and unique works of art! Materials include watercolour and acrylic paint, printmaking, modelling clay, plaster and other sculpture materials. We draw in a sketchbook each day to warm-up and practice drawing skills. We typically complete 8-10 works of art each week within the theme.

What other activities do we do at camp? Each day at lunch, weather permitting, we walk to nearby Ranleigh Parkette (across from Bedford Park P.S.). Campers play games, use outdoor toys or just relax under a tree. There is no play structure or water area at this park.

We also play art games, board games, and have free choice crafts and activities indoors when time permits. We are usually quite engaged and busy with our projects all day!

Participants must bring a nut-free lunch and 2 nut-free snacks, a labelled water bottle, a hat, sunscreen, and running shoes.

All program fees are non-refundable. School credit can be issued for cancellations made within 14 days prior to the start of the program. School credit is transferable within families. There is a $50 administration fee for changes requested less than 14 days prior to program start.

Make-up Classes

We are unable to offer make-up classes due to student absence, illness, or for any other reason. Camps cannot be prorated or credited for missed classes or carried over to following sessions.

We foster a community of positivity, safety, and mutual respect. All participants are expected to conduct themselves in a safe and respectful manner with both fellow participants and instructors alike.
