Theme: Secret Garden
Have you ever wanted to gather a bouquet in the jungle, have a tea party in a secret garden or grow a plant that Dr. Suess would be proud of? This summer you can! Learn how to make a wire armature & cover it with papier-mâché, then paint and decorate it. Each morning & afternoon, a couple of hours will be spent on art and during breaks you’ll go to the wading pool, playground or pizza oven. On Friday, you'll take your parents on a stroll through the fantastic gardens of your creation displayed throughout the park.

Theme: Microworld
This year Erin wants you to explore Dufferin Grove Park on the back of a beetle, galloping along a blade of grass and wading through dewdrops. After your adventures in this microworld, learn how to make a wire armature & cover it with papier-mâché. Over the 5 days, paint and collage it. Each morning & afternoon, a couple of hours will be spent on art and during breaks you’ll go to the wading pool, playground or pizza oven. On Friday you’ll make your parents will feel smaller than a ladybug while looking at the outdoor display of your creations.
