Dive into a creative adventure where your little artists will transform ordinary canvases, exploring the boundless world of color and form. MegaMasterpieces Camp is not just an art camp; it’s a larger-than-life experience for your child to create massive paintings, fostering big art, big fun, and big memories! Watch as their imagination blossoms into breathtaking masterpieces that will leave a lasting impression.

Campers will dive into the world of iconic artists like Picasso, Van Gogh, and Monet, creating their own masterpieces through painting, drawing, and clay modeling. Each day focuses on a different artist and technique, inspiring kids to express their creativity while learning new skills and having fun!

Campers will use their imagination to create superhero characters, complete with unique powers, costumes, and accessories. They’ll craft personalized superhero masks, shields, and capes, as well as sculpt superhero figures out of clay. This hands-on experience lets kids bring their superheroes to life in their own way!

An art adventure awaits at the Varley! Inspired by Fred Varley, Emily Carr, and Canadian En Plein air artists, campers use the outdoors as a place to be inspired to create finished artworks.

Presented in partnership with the Markham Group of Artists, this weekly Friday evening program offers a non-instructional life drawing session featuring a live model. Open to artists of all skill levels, the program provides a relaxed and supportive environment for exploring portraiture and life drawing. Participants are required to bring their own art materials. Space is limited.
*No session on Friday, June 20.
