Prince George Community Arts Council

Summer Day Camp of the Arts is a recreational alternative to traditional day care programs. The program is designed for children ages 6-11 (must have kindergarten completed).  The Day Camp program is designed to meet the challenge of caring for school age children during the months of July and August while giving them something fun and educational to do!

The program is divided into theme weeks. Parents have the option of enrolling their children in the Camp for part or all of the summer holidays. Our program is designed to incorporate arts and recreation into day-long activities that create a positive environment and a positive experience for children.

Each year two university students enrolled in a relevant program are hired to run the program. The Summer Day Camp program assists these students in earning money for their continued education and in giving them hands-on experience in working towards their career goals.

Types of Activities

The Summer Day Camp is designed around themed weeks. Each week will be packed full of arts, recreational, and educational activities as well as field trips according to that theme.
