Art Camps
Our recommended age group is 5-12 yo
(We accept younger siblings on a case-by-case basis so please contact us if you wish to register a younger sibling)
Our all ages camps are designed with different skill levels in mind, we cater to each individual child based on their age, skill and attention span. We encourage free creativity while teaching technique in a structured environment
With social distancing still in place, we will have a maximum of 8 kids at camp (exceptions for siblings and family units). We will try and spend as much time as possible outside (weather allowing) we will encourage more hand washing and ensure that kids are keeping safe distancing when sharing sensory bins. Our sensory bins will consist of only antibacterial materials like shaving cream, soap, and water, etc. (don't worry we are very creative with our sensory bins!) Our cleaning procedures were always impeccable (who else washes walls!) but we have switched our cleaning to all antiseptic products to ensure a more sanitized environment.
Reserve your spot now and we will contact you closer to the date for a health screening questionnaire that must be completed before campers are welcomed on the first day.

Applied Arts refer to any form of art applied to design or decoration. This may include industrial, graphic, fashion, interior design, and conceivably the decorative arts. Fine Arts are instead aimed at providing aesthetically pleasing and intellectually stimulating forms of art.
Our Fine & Applied Arts class delves into both worlds by alternating between practical and artistic applications. Students will learn about fashion design & brush strokes, design concepts & pencil sketching, Stefan Sagmeister & Pablo Picasso. This is a perfect class for ages 8 and up who are interested to discover more about the art world.
