Daycamp FAQ

Welcome to our much anticipated summer art camps! Please take a moment to read over some helpful information prior to booking.

Single day registration registration will depend on availability and open June 1st if spaces allow. We do not plan or schedule activities for each day in advance specifically, but instead allow the kids to guide our week, with an overarching vision of the theme and activities that we feel would be fun. When booking single days, so if there is a specific activity listed that your child is interested in, we strongly recommend that you book the full week to guarantee they are able to participate in each opportunity listed. Children MUST 6+ and be entering grade 1 in September 2025 in order to register, absolutely NO exceptions.

Children need: Lunch & snacks suitable for full day, water bottle, outside clothes for the weather, and full change of clothes (swimming gear if listed in week's description)

**Please note, if your child has pet allergies, our studio has, a lovely studio dog, a golden retriever named Ben. We are also a peanut friendly facility and do cook and bake on site, so if your child has severe food allergies, please contact us before registering, or consider that it might not be a safe fit in extreme cases.

Our small program and creative space lends itself best to more of the quiet creative types! We are a safe space for sensory sensitive kiddos, and all of our staff is highly trained and experienced with supporting kids with diverse abilities. Although we love those high energy kids, there are many other programs who would really love them more, and would be a much better fit to provide space for their needs. We ask that you please consider whether a small art studio with seated activities for 8hrs is really the best fit for your child, or if they may have more fun running around until they are a bit older...I know I'll be leaving my two boys at the Y to play basketball and I can't wait for some serious craft time!

All bookings are final and non refundable due to illness or cancellation, credits are not given for missed or cancelled classes or camps as our programs fill to capacity. You are welcome to transfer your booking to someone else, please contact me so I can obtain emergency contact information for that family.

July 2/3/4th - Messy Art #1

Join us for a fun filled 3 day week of messy inspired creativity. Our group will be invited to participate in messy fun, including slime making, squirt gun watercolour, elephant toothpaste, bubble painting, splatter painting in our splatter room, and much more! Our most popular weeks, these are always the first to sell out! Likely no single days available due to high demand.

July 7-11th - Spa/Salon & Fashion Design

Kids are invited to wear PJ's and join us for a week of FABULOUS fashion and self care! We will spend the week making scented bath bombs, face masks, lipgloss and body scrub, and playing with hair and makeup in our full service kid run spa and salon! We have bins and bins of beautiful fabric that the kids are invited to use, to design and create dresses and other fashion items, which is always a favourite!

July 14-18th - Random Holiday Week

Who doesn't love Christmas in July!? During this exciting week, each day will feature a different holiday, including Valentines Day, Easter, Christmas and all the fun crafts that go along with them! We will even have a special "Birthday" day! We will likely participate in some baking this week, including cupcakes and a Christmas baking activity, so please let us know if your child has any food allergies and we may ask you to send an alternative along with them closer to the time (we plan activities later in the year so we will reach out when we are ready).

Juy 21-25th - Pets

This week we will be hatching chicks and ducks (SO CUTE!), baking dog treats, doing our favourite art/imagination activity "adopt a pet" where kids get to "adopt" a small stuffed dog, make a collar, leash, and dog carrier for it, will learn to draw cartoon animals, and much more!

July 28-Aug 1st - Pinterest Crafts 8+

Sometimes it can be difficult for us to do certain things, because we have so many little people in attendance. I though it might be nice to have a week with older kids, so we can take on some more complex craft projects. I plan to bring in some expert Jr Crafters to come in and teach some things such as card making and crochet, that require a bit more attention span and fine motor skills. Open to ages 8+ (or entering into grade 3 in September), we will also be visiting Parkensen Rec Centre 1-2 times this week, so please pack swim gear!

August 5th-8th - Potions Week

From wizards to mad scientists to beauty supplies, there's nothing kids love more than POTIONS! We have collected quite the list of concoctions over the years and we are excited to bring them all together during this "explosive" and very glitter filled week! From elephant toothpaste to bath bombs in our wizard cauldron, to magic dancing colours and bubble painting, we have a fun filled week that your kids will be talking about for weeks to come!

August 11-15th- Crochet Craze 8+

We are crazy for crochet! This week is intended for older kids (ages 8+ or entering grade 3, unless they are a bit younger and actually already know how to crochet and won't be bored sitting around doing so!). We ask that in advance of this class, students learn how to do a basic chain and begin to practice single crochet, but absolute beginner is totally fine beyond this. During this week we have the option to visit Parkensen Rec to swim once or twice if the group is interested, so please pack swim gear accordingly.

Please bring one ball of yarn and a properly sized corresponding hook (noted on label of yarn). For beginners, we recommend googling "best and worst yarn for beginner crochet" and following that rather than allowing your child to choose, it really does make a huge difference!

August 18-22nd - Messy Art #2

Join us for a fun filled week of messy inspired creativity. Our group will be invited to participate in messy fun, including slime making, squirt gun watercolour, elephant toothpaste, bubble painting, splatter painting in our splatter room, and much more! Our most popular weeks, these are always the first to sell out! Likely no single days available due to high demand.

August 25-29th - Glitter/Rainbow/Unicorn

Kid's choice! This very random week will have a lot of flex while kids decide on some more ideas! What I can say, is that each day will be filled with GLITTER, adorable kawaii drawing and painting, cute stickers, unicorn themed crafts, and all things rainbow!
