Delve into a wide range of art materials; learn new skills and experiment with different creative approaches. Each week we will explore new themes. Our small, bilingual classes of 15 students, grouped according to age, ensure that each child receives individual attention and is encouraged to advance at their own pace. Activities take place in our fully equipped and air conditioned studios as well as at Westmount Park, where outdoor games and a weekly swim complement the afternoon programme. *Registered children must be at least 6 years old the week they attend camp. The day camp schedule and projects are not suitable for younger children. You may register your child on a weekly basis. New projects are introduced each week.
