This is the camp where messy creativity is the goal!

In this day camp, we’ll raid the junk drawer and the recycling bin for items to reclaim and repurpose. Explore painting, printmaking, fibre arts, sculpture and collage with upcycling art projects that turn items destined for the landfill into stunning art, funky functional items and personalized gifts. Express yourself with cloth patches, zines, and junk journals. Make your own version – no cookie-cutter or carbon-copy projects here! Spend the day with us and take home projects worth keeping, adding to, and repeating.  

This camp is suitable for children ages 8 +.

Materials List: Please pack a snack and lunch for your child, bring a water bottle and that they wear clothes they can get dirty.

If your child requires additional one-on-one support, they are welcome to attend with a responsible helper arranged by the parent/guardian. On a case-by-case basis, providing a responsible helper may be a requirement for participation. Please contact the education coordinator at education@ladysmitharts.ca or 250-245-1252 to discuss the unique needs of your child.
