Kids Summer Camp!
July 17, 2023 @ 9:00 am - August 25, 2023 @ 3:30 pm
There’s an artist inside all of us and the GCAC wants to help unleash your child’s inner artist!
Each week has unique crafts and activities to give the campers the opportunity to help them embrace their creativity. To ensure a balanced week of fun, we will also enjoy games, singing and playtime outside!
At the end of the week, we welcome parents and family members to a gallery walkthrough, where you can take pictures and enjoy each piece of artwork.
Camp is from 9am to 3:30pm daily, with early drop off starting at 8:30am and final pick up time at 4pm. If you require special arrangements, please do not hesitate to reach out.
Children ages 7 – 11. Please ensure to provide a packed lunch for your little one!
For more details on each week, please see the below.

Elements of Art
This week, campers will get the opportunity to draw, paint, try fibre art, and experiment with new mediums!
We’ll help them get creative through a sculptural project, daily drawing, and artistic games. Kids will also have the chance to quiet the mind through fibre art activities, painting and more.
Unique individual and group art activities will get the campers engaged and using their imaginations!
July 24th to July 28th
Nature Meets Art
Beauty truly is all around us. Sign up today for a week of exploring the natural beauty of our community.
The children will not only create observational drawings of plants and flowers, they will get to paint their very own planter, and do some planting too! To ensure a balanced week of fun, we will also enjoy games, singing and play time outside!
At the end of the week, families are welcome to come on a gallery walk to see how the kids turned their exploration into art!
July 31st to August 4th
Sculptures & Structures
Creativity comes in all shapes and sizes. During sculptures and structures week, children will have the opportunity to explore structures in our neighbourhood.
Then, using recyclable materials and different medias, they will make their own sculptures! To ensure a balanced week of fun, we will also enjoy games, singing and play time outside!
At the end of the week, families are invited to come on a gallery walk to see what the kids have built!

Let's Get Messy!
Ready to make a mess?! In an exciting week of experimentation, the children will learn about cause and effect!
Though splat painting, shaving cream marbling and scrape painting, they will create a variety of art pieces. We will also work collaboratively to build a paint pendulum! To ensure a balanced week of fun, we will also enjoy games, singing and play time outside!
At the end of the week, families are welcome to come on a gallery walk to see what pictures the children were able to create.
