Unlock creativity this summer at TO Live’s art-based summer camp! Whether your kids are interested in theatre, visual art, music or movement, they can engage with the world of the performing arts for three weeks of non-stop creative fun. Led by practicing professional artists, these action-packed day camps promise to be an unforgettable adventure, focusing on fostering kids’ artistic expression and teamwork in a vibrant and supportive environment!
One of Canada’s largest multi-arts organizations, TO Live operates three iconic venues: Meridian Arts Centre, Meridian Hall, and St. Lawrence Centre for the Arts. So, don’t miss the chance to help inspire your child’s creativity at their summer camp at the Meridian Arts Centre, a versatile, modern, and expansive venue in the heart of North York.
For three weeks in August, you can choose from two programs: Music and Movement in Week 1 or Theatre and Visual Art in Week 2. Of course, if your child loves all forms of creative expression, they can join both camps! Then, in the third week, TO Live has added a Mystery Performance camp to further their creative education. In all of these programs, the kids can really feel like they are part of Toronto’s vibrant artistic community, learning from our city’s talented theatrical professionals. By each Friday, your child will have learned new skills, gained confidence, and made unforgettable memories.
