Nurture your child’s creativity and self-awareness through a dynamic fusion of art and yoga! Join us for an exciting summer camp collaboration between the MacLaren Art Centre and Nook Yoga, designed for two age cohorts: 6-9 years old and 10-14 years old. This unique camp combines the best of yoga, meditation, and visual art to foster self-awareness, build strong relationships, manage stress, and explore emotions. This camp offers a holistic approach to personal growth, creativity, and well-being, providing a memorable summer experience for kids.

For half the day, campers will stretch and flow through kid-friendly yoga routines, building strength, flexibility, and body awareness at Nook Yoga with local yoga instructor Maeve Pearce. For the other half, they will dive into artistic activities that encourage self-expression, teamwork, and personal growth at the MacLaren with local artist Monica Loney. Children will leave with not only a collection of beautiful art pieces but also a greater sense of mindfulness, confidence, and an appreciation for their unique talents.
