For the 2023/24 school year we offer all-day art camps. Children enjoy creative projects in studio spaces and playtime outdoors, facilitated by CVAC artists and experienced volunteers in two parallel groups each Pro-d day. Each group is limited to 12 students. Programs run from 9 am to 3 pm. Children may arrive after 8:30 and must be picked up by 3:15.
All camps are guided by seasonal themes for inspiration and stories. Children bring home a collection of artwork from their day.
CVAC youth program registration is through the CVRD Recreation Guide and website.
Each event has a registration code. Use this code to help with registration.
