Artshine Camps

Summer at Artshine Camps is all about giving kids a place where creativity feels joyful and free. Campers spend their days learning new art styles, experimenting with different materials, and discovering what they can do with their own imagination. They laugh, play, make friends, and create artwork they feel proud of. Most of all, they get a chance to express themselves in a space that celebrates their ideas and their unique way of seeing the world.

2026 Artshine Summer Camp Registration is currently open at:

  • Benjamin Tree Farm - 770 Benjamin Road, Waterloo ON
  • Sunshine Montessori School - 10 Boniface Ave, Kitchener ON
  • Cole Harbour Place - 51 Forest Hills Pkwy, Dartmouth, NS
  • More Locations to come!

There are forms required on each camp listing below that must be submitted at checkout.

Camp Overview:

Our summer Art Camps are offered in two exciting themes: Imagine & Create, which focuses on fantasy, storytelling, and imaginative worlds, and Explore & Discover, which celebrates the beauty and inspiration of the real world around us. Each theme runs multiple times throughout the summer, but no projects are repeated at the same camp location, so every week brings fresh activities and new creations. If your child attends camps at more than one location, they may encounter a familiar lesson, but our instructors always encourage individuality—so every artist’s piece will be unique to their own imagination and style.

Alongside daily themed art projects, each day also includes time for indoor and outdoor play, free create sessions, two snack breaks, and a longer lunch break. To wrap up each week, families are invited to join our optional Drop-In Art Showcase, where campers proudly display the amazing artwork they’ve created throughout the week.

Artshine camp policies can be found here.

Updates will be made to these policies in accordance with provincial and federal guidelines and regulations as needed.
