ART & THEATRE CAMP!
If your child loves to dress up, sing, loves art and animals, playing games and dramatic experiences, then this is the week for them!
The kids will be designing and making their own play!  For those that are shy, they may choose to participate in another way.  They may enjoy helping build a set, creating the program, costumes, and face paint, etc., or want to make their own special art craft.  At the end of the week, the kids and teens will put on a mini-show for you!  Ready, Set, ACTION!
ALL ABOUT ART ON KNOX FARM!
This week will be for those true art lovers!  Every age group will do  sketching, etching, and colour mixing. For older groups, the focus will be acquiring perspective skills, and following through with all the details. We will also be learning about doodle art, henna drawing and designs, mandalas and more!  Sketch books, pencils, paint markers, pastels, crayons, will be the materials used the most.  Kids will observe and draw what inspires them from around the farm, to create their own booklet of ... everything!  ... Animals, bugs, birds, flowers, the clouds, trees, doodle drawing, whatever they see and want to draw or paint!  They will choose their favourite drawing or sketch, and paint a larger canvas to take home at the end of the week!  Ooo la la!

My goal every summer is to provide a safe and fun environment for both counsellors and children.  This starts with proper training and certification of our camp crew.   Special training includes First Aid and CPR, experience taking care of kids, and of course, knowing how to have a lot of fun! 
 
I want to thank Knox Farm and 1840 Farmhouse & Vineyard for generously allowing us all to create such wonderful camp memories this summer!
