Our “Crafty Critters” camp runs from Monday to Thursday each week, offering a dynamic four-day experience where children explore a range of crafts and activities themed around textiles, light and shadow, natural sciences, and body movement. Each day presents a new adventure, from creating tie-dye tees to participating in an artistic parade along the Quay.

On Fridays, we shift gears with our “Friday Art Explorers Camp” a special half-day session that immerses campers in the world of famous artists. Here, children spend three hours exploring and creating unique crafts inspired by the styles and techniques of renowned artists, with each week featuring a different artistic influence. Both camps provide children with the opportunity to learn, create, and bring home their handmade treasures, making summer not just fun but also enriching and educational.
