Summer Arts Adventure Camps
**Campers must be 3 years of age by the end of May and be fully toilet-trained**
The Kinderschool Summer Arts Adventure Camp at The Oakville Academy for the Arts takes children 3 to 5 years of age through a fun and magical introduction to the expressive arts.
Each one week session offers young campers the opportunity to explore, in depth, a core fine art experience. In addition to the core art experience offered daily, campers also take part in a dance/movement games session, choosing time and snack. A music session is presented twice weekly for 5- day participants and once weekly for 2 and 3-day participants.
This dynamic summer program will be taught by our Kinderschool Kindergarten and Preschool teachers as well as Instructors from our Dance and Music Faculty.
Participants have their choice of Monday through Friday (5 day option) or Monday, Wednesday and Friday (3 day option) or Tuesday and Thursday (2 day option).
