WILD CANADA is calling!
Pack your sense of adventure this MARCH BREAK and join us to explore your imagination, inspired by Canada’s forests, animals, and landscapes! Each day will be bursting with games, stories, and hands-on creativity that celebrates the WILD wonders and beauty of our home—CANADA!
WILD CANADA is all about letting your imagination run free!
Led by our team of talented Arts Educators, campers will paint like art-icon Tom Thomson and Canadian artist Kim Dorland, make Canadian-inspired mixed media masterpieces, create their own nature journals, AND there are always some awesome new friends made along the way!
Camp week is designed to delight and inspire 38 young artists, ages 5-12! Led by ECFTA Arts Educators, we will spend the week in both in our cheery Art Classroom and sunny Sparrow’s Nest Maker Space. We offer a balance of guided art instruction and open-flow creative exploration, along with outdoor fresh air and play!
To ensure that your child is ready for a full day of art making and fun:
- A healthy mid-morning snack + and lunch.
- We will offer a nut-free snack towards the end of each day to keep the energy going
- Refillable water bottle
- Dress for the weather and for art making!
At the Elora Centre for the Arts, we strive to support ALL children who would like to attend our programs! We make every effort to accommodate the varying needs of all our Young Makers. Please note, we are not able to offer full-day, one-on-one support to children with additional needs. For more information, please contact us!`
