2024 Summer Arts Camps & Programs
Join us for an exciting array of arts camps this summer: creative writing, fine art, animation camps, film-making, digital art, acting camps and more! Most of our arts camps take place in our studio in Bloor West Village (close to Runnymede subway in west Toronto) but we also offer virtual summer programs, too!

Fees:

Virtual Summer Camp Programs (1 week, 4 hours per day): $275 (discounts for multiple camps)
