The Best March Break Camps – Mommy Connections Fave 5!

02/03/2016

Are you looking for a fun camp or activity for your munchkin this March Break?  Here are 5 of my favourite West Toronto camps for kids!

 1. Paint & Pixels

Paint & PIxels is a new visual and digital arts studio in Etobicoke. They offer an innovative space for art to be developed, appreciated, and integrated with design technology and art applications. March Break campers will create a new Acrylic Painting each day (Rainbow animals, Shopkins, Pirates and more!) They will also have the opportunity to make Paper Mache creations (Wacky Bird Bottles) and Sculptures for Stop Motion Animation Movies. Kids will also get an introduction to ScratchJR Animation, a MIT developed coding Language developed especially for kids. Plus there will be amazing filed trips to the Art Gallery of Ontario and Cineplex for Zootopia! Experience the magic of combining established art techniques with emerging tools, processes and applications at Paint & Pixels!  Register here.
