The Our Kids review of McMichael Children and Youth Art Camps and Programs

The McMichael facility is as much of a national treasure as the art that it houses. You really can’t praise it enough—it’s truly a jewel in the crown of Canadian arts. In addition to year round programs, the summer sessions, in particular, unabashedly get kids involved up to their elbows in art, from creation to appreciation. The sessions are active, though created to really promote the work and the collections to kids on their level, inspiring them to better appreciate their talents as well as the talents of those around them. The experience of being at the collection, too, creates a sense of ownership for the works collected there. The gallery intentionally blurs the line between art and environment, and the camps seek to extend that, getting kids out into the world, and to see how that world is reflected in the work of some of the country’s greatest artists. These camps are not just art classes or art appreciation workshops, they are vibrant, well-led programs allowing kids to have fun while interacting with others around the arts.

• March Break Camp Testimonial

  What I love most about the McMichael's art camps is that my children experience first-hand, the connection between art and nature. The fresh air, beautiful grounds, and first-class art collection are inspiring any time of the year.

• Children's Camps Testimonial

  My daughter has attended in the past, but this was her favourite by far. The instructors and assistants are amazing and took the time if my daughter needed help. You made art fun again!
