Spring Break Art Camps at the Chilliwack Cultural Centre
Turn your kids spring break into a memorable journey of artistic creativity!
Ignite the imagination and inner artist in your child this spring break with the Spring Break Art Camps at the Chilliwack Cultural Centre. From March 18 to 28, young artists are invited to immerse themselves in a world of artistic exploration, self-discovery, and pure creative joy. With a flexible class schedule and wildly diverse opportunities for your child to explore their creative side, this will be a spring break to remember!
“Exposure to making art addresses the need for creativity in our lives – allowing children to be who they are, and to use that knowledge to create any kind of art is so crucial to the human experience,” says Trischa Buhler, the Education Programs Manager. “Fine motor skills get further refined when a child holds a new art tool, language development happens when they are taught new art terminology, and creating art enhances their visual-spatial skills. In an art camp setting, children are allowed the freedom to express themselves, be creative, take risks, discover new passions, and develop new ideas.”
With 30 classes to pick and choose from, your kids will not only have the chance to try new things, but to also explore and learn more about the activities that already interest them. Exploring the incredibly popular style of Anime teaches kids how to draw their own characters, All About Uke and Guitar Heroes offer an opportunity to pick up an instrument and learn the basics, while Passport to Art shows your child how artists around the world express themselves in their cultures. Your kids can also learn how to craft their own stories in Start Your Story, where they will learn the basics of creating a story readers can’t put down. Packed with even more opportunities, this fun selection of art classes will excite and inspire creativity.
Alongside these fabulous classes, the Dungeons & Dragons Spring Break Camps will take kids on a heroic adventure! Our experienced Dungeon Master will start each session off with a little creativity, from character creation, miniature painting to costume and props! Each session will include two hours of gameplay, which will teach the players cooperation, storytelling, respect, and how to take those courageous steps needed to complete their campaign.
The camps run from March 18 to 22 and 25 to 28, and are filled with all kinds of activities that include everything from arts and crafts to performance, music, and dance. The wide selection makes an excellent match for all kinds of young artists, no matter what their interests.
Give your child a spring break to remember as they explore their creativity, make new friends, and create lasting memories at The Centre.
The Centre’s Spring Break Art Camps are available for kids aged 5–15, and with sessions broken into categories for 5-7 and 8–11 for the Spring Break Camps, and 8-11 and 11-15 year-olds for Dungeons & Dragons Camps, your children will get an art experience catered to their age.
