At CCSA's Summer Camp 2024, we offer a thrilling and interactive learning experience for children to explore their artistic talents in Toronto. We have exciting programs in a variety of fields:

• Painting: If choosing painting for your summer camp activity, get ready for students to be immersed in a week of fun and colour! Painting classes will include working with watercolours and acrylic paints to create different paintings inspired by famous artists & artistic styles. Mixing colours, colour theory and opacity of paint colours are just some of the things we talk about and practice while in painting classes at summer camp.

• Architecture: As part of our Creative Camp, we offer a one-day architecture session where children are introduced to the basics of architecture. This session provides hands-on experience in creating real structures, cultivating sensible observation of the environment, and encouraging problem-solving through creativity. Key concepts such as drawing, design, and modeling are explored, preparing children to appreciate and contribute to their surroundings. Please note that Architecture is not offered as a full week activity, but rather as a component of our Creative Camp.

• Sculpture: If choosing sculpting for your summer camp activity, get ready to explore a variety of different materials throughout the week! In sculpting classes, our favourite things to work with are clay, cardboard, wire and paper maché! You never know what to expect in a sculpting week here at camp, but you will know that it will be 100% fun! Sculpting classes at summer camp will help students understand how art can exist in a three-dimensional world and expand their young minds with unique tips & tricks to creating cool sculptures.

• Animation: In our animation summer camp, students bring stories to life through the media arts. They study famous animations and learn storytelling techniques. Key concepts include design, visual effects, and life drawing. Students create storyboards, choose materials, and use stop-motion techniques. We encourage individual styles and show that perfection can be achieved in various ways.

• Cartooning: Choosing cartooning for your summer camp activity gives students the freedom to be able to draw the entire day while they are at camp! Primarily creating characters and comics, cartooning is perfect for any child that loves to explore the world through drawing! Cartooning classes at camp usually explore storyboarding, character creation, comic book design & set design through various drawing and sculpting activities. Cartooning gives students the opportunity to tell their story while they are here at camp, the way they like to tell it!

• Fashion: Our fashion design summer program fosters creativity and skill development. Students receive intensive, hands-on training tailored to their potential and taste. The curriculum covers fashion terminology, drawing, sewing,. We respect students' styles and show them diverse paths to perfection. 

• Drama: In our drama summer camp, students immerse themselves in performing arts, learning improvisation, character development, and stagecraft. They collaborate to create stories and characters under the guidance of their drama teacher. Each day, they practice and perform on stage. The camp culminates in a performance for parents.

• Drawing: When choosing Drawing as your afternoon activity, teachers will run through essential drawing skills and different content each day to be able to allow all students to feel comfortable and also feel challenged throughout the week. Because there are all different things we like to draw the most, here at CCSA it is important for us to encourage our students to draw things that are also unusual for them, as it builds a well-rounded artist. Our teachers guide our students to create beautiful drawings that they can be proud of, while encouraging experimentation and exploration each day they are here. With each day that passes at camp, students often go home feeling more creative, happy and confident in their drawing abilities. You never know what you might end up drawing here each day!

This summer, let CCSA ignite your child's passion for the arts!
