We have continued to explore themes such as; Eco-art, environmental stewardship, public art, nature, surface design, landscapes, set design, upcycling, tie-dye, Community, using a variety of mediums such as; storytelling, drama, music, foraged nature, clay, paint, fabric, textiles, felting, homemade inks, drawing, collage, stencil.

No two camps are the same, so pick one, pick two or join us for the whole summer!

All our camps are located at MapleWood House – 399 Seymour River Pl, North Vancouver, BC V7H 1S6
