Fine Arts Day Camp • 6-12 year olds
Join us this summer for another creative and inspiring artistic journey! Delve into a wide range of artistic techniques; learn new skills and experiment with a variety of materials. At the VAC day camp, the morning is completely dedicated to an art class given by an art teacher, the afternoons are divided with time in the park or at the swimming pool, followed by a collaborative art workshop, with new projects every week. This summer campers will be exploring the theme of MULTIPLICITY.
Our students are placed in small, bilingual groups, according to their age. This ensures that each child receives individual attention and can be encouraged to advance at their own pace. Activities take place in our fully equipped and air-conditioned studios as well as at Westmount or Prince Albert Park, where outdoor games and physical activity complement the afternoon programme.
Registration fees are for one week of day camp, students may be registered for multiple weeks. New projects are introduced each week. Visit our website for the complete descriptions of weekly themes: visualartscentre.ca
