Welcome to ArtsCalibre Academy's Summer Camps for 2024!

Lots of *NEW* activities are planned for this Summer!

Our 5-day camps (and one 4-day camp) will follow a brand new theme each week — fully engaging children in music, visual arts and crafts, robotics, science and more...and lots of fun and games!  Our standard (non-technical) camps will also feature outdoor activities every day, including field trips to local parks and/or Cadboro-Gyro Beach.

7 weeks of camps will be offered from July 8th through August 23rd, 2024.

All camps are divided into two age groups — 4 to 5 and 6 to 8 — except our two LEGO Robotics offerings whose unique age groups are shown below.  These technical camps are facilitated by the robotics/programming specialists at Littluniverse.

Other Notes:

  • All (younger) children registered in our camps must be able to use the toilet independently.
