Welcome to RiverBrink Summer Art Camp – an exciting blend of dynamic art making and fun-filled day camp. This year we are offering two separate week-long, full-day camp opportunities for children ages 6-12!

​
Guided by a team of experienced counsellors and professional practicing artists, campers will make innovative art projects using high quality materials (all included) and develop their own unique artistic style. Participants will engage in mixed-media activities, including cartography, animation, calligraphy, drawing, collage, sculpture and more! They will also participate in guided tours of our current exhibitions and learn about artwork from our collections.
