Create imaginative spaces are the cornerstone of the program. Boys will transported to new playful and innovative spaces, interact with a community of friends, campers, artists, and makers.

Children will have the opportunity to interact with other campers and learn a range of new skills, all the while having loads of fun. Activities are structured where campers work face-to-face with our teaching artists, camp counselors and other campers. 

Theme-Based Interactive Art Making Activities ​

Project supplies and activities are easily expanded upon and modified both during the camp and after, as individual campers bring in to play their own abilities and imaginative ideas. Most of the materials can be reused/repurposed. 


So how does this work?
​

Below are the processes and skills we focus on and encourage:

Step 1: Imagination and Creative Thinking: Children are provided with ideas to start imagining and creating. Artists, scientists and engineers who have used their imaginations to create and invent all kinds of things such as Leonardo's helicopter and Nancy Johnson's ice-cream maker are introduced throughout the activities. 

Step 2: Tinker, Plan, Build, Construct and Make: We supply all the materials and supplies for the activities, projects and ideas that are planned. 

Step 3: Time and Space: There will be plenty of time and space to collaborate, investigate, examine and make.

Step 4: Reflect. Children have time to reflect on their process, what was challenging, what was fun, how they solved a problem and how to do it differently next time. Reflection also provides children the opportunity to imagine new ideas and interests.

Step 5: Play and Fun. This is the time to play and have lots of imaginative fun! Research shows that through play children attain new knowledge and learn important life skills. The activities included in the camp support socio-emotional learning - the process through which children understand and manage emotions, set and achieve goals, feel and show empathy for others, establish and maintain positive relationships, and make responsible decisions - all key aspects in children's' growth. 

Project supplies and activities can easily be expanded upon and modified both during the program, as individual boys bring into play their own abilities and imaginative ideas.
