ArtVenture Summer Camp 2022
The McMichael Canadian Art Collection provides an unmatched environment for children’s art camps, with a unique combination of spectacular grounds overlooking the Humber River Valley and a world-famous art collection. Guided by the talent of the best young artists and art instructors in the Greater Toronto Area, each camp includes in-gallery art viewing, outdoor activities, and in-studio artmaking. Campers are encouraged to harness their creativity into artistic pursuits and meet new friends while exploring the art of Canada.
The McMichael has restructured its ArtVenture Summer Camp program and increased the ratio of healthy outdoor activities to balance the time spent on indoor projects and gallery explorations. Rigorous cleaning and social distancing procedures will be implemented to ensure campers have a safe and enjoyable summer experience.
