The Program
The Arts Explosion Camp will weave together the skillful teachings of local, professional artists with the energy and curiosity of girls and boys, aged 4 to 13 years, to create a fun-packed, pressure-free week of explorations into art. Campers will assemble in three groups.
Full-Day Programs (9:30 am - 3:30 pm) Mixed Program for 6-8 year old campers (maximum 25). Mixed Program for 9-13 year old campers (maximum 25).
Half-Day Programs (9:30 am - 12:00 pm) Mixed Program for 4-5 year old campers (maximum 16).
This half-day camp offers a variety of activities tailored to the younger artist.
Please refer to our 2010 March Break Camp Flyer for a sample schedule. Full Summer Camp schedule will be available in May.
All schedules are subject to change.
What to Bring to Camp
Please enure your child brings the following items to camp with them each day:
A nut-free lunch & two nut-free snacks
A labelled water bottle
Loose-fitting clothing that allows for freedom of movement and possible paint stains
Weather-appropriate clothing: part of lunch hour will be spent outside, so children may get muddy, snowy or wet - and anything in between.
Subsidies
The GCDF will offer two subsidized spaces in each full-day program and one in the half-day group. These spaces have been made possible by donors to the Monica Davies Camp Scholarship Fund. Please call 519.780.2220 for more information.
