New Brunswick Summer Camp Directory 2020
Summer vacation has begun but it’s not to late to sign up your children for summer camp!
When people think of summer camps, a lot of people only think of the week-long sleep away summer camps, which appeal to a lot of young campers, but there are also those that are not yet comfortable to be away from home that long. There are so many amazing day camps (and overnight ones too) in our local area and all over New Brunswick.
The all-inclusive list below will help you find the perfect fit for your son or daughter.
The Estey Art Iniative Inc.
The Estey Art Initiative Inc. is a charitable organization that inspires and engages youth through art. Estey Art has been providing a transformation art program across New Brunswick for thousands of children each year through it’s after school art program.
🎨 Summer Camps of 2020 will combine creating fine art masterpieces with creative themed activities, and crafting. The fine art component will be a similar style to the after school program where students work with a variety of high-quality mediums including acrylic paint, watercolor, pastel, graphite, and more.
Creative activities will include things like sculpture, fabric art, nature walks, and lots of outdoor play. If your family is experiencing financial difficulties, there is a confidential sponsorship plan available.
