About the program

What happens when art and engineering come together?

Children invent, build, draw, and experiment with colour, shape, movement, and imagination. Through creative challenges and hands-on projects, campers discover that designing something new often requires both artistic thinking and problem-solving.

For Ages 3–6:

Learn Through Stories, Play & Exploration

Younger children explore colour, shapes, textures, and movement through playful art and simple building activities. They’ll experiment freely, create their own designs, and practise expressing ideas through visual projects.

They’ll practice:
Observation • Imagination • Communication • Cooperation • Creativity

For Ages 7–12:

Turn Imagination Into Your Own Story

Older children go deeper into invention and design through sculpture, kinetic art, visual experiments, and creative problem-solving. They’ll plan ideas, test different approaches, and explore the connections between art, science, and engineering.

They’ll practice:
Creative Thinking • Storytelling • Teamwork • Communication • Problem-Solving

  • Snow-capped mountains in the background with a modern building on a grassy hillside in the foreground.

    "My 4-year-old son has been attending since last September—it's been over 8 months now—and we absolutely love it. Each term and every week features a new theme, with creative, hands-on activities that keep him excited and engaged. He always comes home eager to tell me what he learned that day. What’s been especially impressive is how much his vocabulary has grown. He’s learning so much—just through play! It’s pressure-free and full of joy. Nature has truly become his classroom, and it’s incredible to watch him explore forests, streams, and muddy trails with such confidence. The teachers are warm, caring, and professional. You can really feel their passion for early childhood education. My son looks forward to every class—and as a parent, that means everything."
