Children Programs – Neilson Park Creative Centre

Kids Classes and Camps

See our new spring listings of after school and Saturday classes for kids.

We are also offering PA Day camps for 5-8 year old and 8-12 year old kids. In our classes and camps, kids create a wide variety of art projects led by professional artist instructors.

Summer camp registration is now open! We offer nine weeks of fun-filled, creative activities. Read our listings below for each week’s theme and projects for our junior, intermediate and senior age groups.

If classes or camps have to be moved online we will supply a materials kit for pick up at the centre or full refunds will be available.
