Kids Camps in Squamish: Spring Break, Summer & Winter Art Camps
Happimess offers seasonal art camps in Squamish during spring break, summer, and winter holidays for children in Kindergarten to Grade 8. Our camps focus on creativity, hands-on projects, and inclusive, neuroaffirming experiences.
Summer 2026 at Happimess is our most exciting lineup yet, with new collaborations, fresh themes, and all brand-new projects—no repeats.
We’re bringing back our popular Squamish Sampler in Week 1, giving kids the chance to explore a variety of activities and helping parents discover what their child truly enjoys without committing to multiple full camps.
This year also features special collaborations, including Week 4 with Arrowwood Games (ages 8+) and the return of our highly requested Happi Ninja Camp in Week 5 in partnership with the Ninja Gym—now in its third year. Every camp includes an optional hour at the Ninja Gym, adding movement and play to each creative day.
Our exclusive Happimess camps continue to offer a fully immersive art experience and are now priced at $80/day, making them one of the most accessible summer camp options in Squamish. Instead of offering weekly discounts, we’ve lowered our daily rates to give families more flexibility and support during a time when affordability matters most.
