Upcoming Events

July 15th - 19th, 2024
8:00am - 4:00pm

This summer camp engages children to explore the world of arts and crafts. We learn new skills including how to paint in creative ways and build unique crafts with one's hands. Each day we also learn a new science experiment. We will also be exploring the outdoors by enjoying the Lions Park and the Ailsa Craig Splash Pad.

This camp also allows for children to engage in some interactive games including team races, hide and seek, musical chairs and more. Each day is a themed day where we direct our crafts based off of the theme and children can come to camp dressed in their spirit wear.

This is a great experience for kids to make new friends,
challenge their creativity, and have the best week of their lives!
