Youthful Art Summer Day Camps 2024

An exciting NEW addition to Youthful Art at the Cultural Centre! Summer vacation is the perfect time to explore the various mediums and surfaces art can be created on and with, and that’s exactly what we’ll be doing during our weekly summer Art Camps.

These camps are designed for 3rd-6th graders and will be held weekly through the month August.

Class will be held each day Monday-Thursday from 9:00a.m.-Noon. No single lesson will be repeated throughout the summer so your child could sign up for a single week of camp or multiple weeks.

The weekly fee of $75.00 includes a mid-morning snack and all materials needed!

Class size will be limited to 10 students per week. Click Register Now to sign up your child for the week/s that work best for you.
