a preprofessional SummerArts for Ages 5-15 and Teen Camps for ages 14-18

We've lowered our prices AND we're giving a sale to make it easier for families to take advantage of our incredible, fun, and enriching programs for kids from 5 to 15. New this year: we've  streamlined our age categories and we're excited to bring some new instructors to join some of our favourites this coming year!

Our junior programs for ages 5-7 are multi-art, providing our youngest campers with a broad exposure to the arts to express themselves and explore a theme. Our intermediate programs for ages 8-10 connect kids to one form of art, and/or to a topic to explore in a multi-art way. Senior programs for ages 11-15 take kids to the next level of artistic expression through a particular skill set in the arts, all taught by professional artists, and all in a beautiful setting with great staff, food and fun. 

Our teen camps are incredible: two weeks of friendship and skill development in a preprofessional program for writers, dancers, musicians, filmmakers, visual artists and theatre actors and directors.  

Click here to register this week for the best savings of the season - and remember these make GREAT  grandparent gifts for Christmas!
You can also buy now and switch programs up to one month in advance with no penalty.
