Music, Drama, Movement and Art Camp
For the well-rounded (or undecided) artist-in-training, the Calgary Arts Summer School Association offers a taste of keyboarding, singing instruction, rhythm, acting, dance and visual arts in either half or full-day options. -
Pedalheads
Welcome Pedalheads to town. Founded by Vancouverite Claudia Sjoberg, Pedalheads has developed an eight-stage cycling program for kids aged four to fourteen. Classes run two and a half hours per day while the rest of the day is divided among free riding, stories and snacks for the little ones with the bulk of time being spent either onsite or touring around Confederation Park or the Glenmore Reservoir. Riding a bike is a childhood milestone not to be missed. -
13 Camps in Calgary
Whether it's work or, dare we say, your child's boredom that drives you to look for alternative activities over the break, here are our 13 picks for camps that will keep them busy and happy through the summer. -
Winsport Summer Camps
Winsport Summer Camps offer fun-filled weeks of adventurous sports activities. From zip lining and ski jumping to obstacle course racing, the well-trained staff will make sure that your budding athletes have a safe and exciting summer. -
Calgary JCC Camps
Gym, swim and crafts are the focus at the Calgary Jewish Community Centre's annual summer camps. They run from 9 am to 4 pm daily and you'll find something for all age groups and interests (introductory half day camps are even available for two and three year-olds). -
Calgary Humane Society
Kids can get their pet-fix (not fixed) at Camp Fur, Fins and Feathers. The Calgary Humane Society presents a variety of day camps that include petting, learning about animals, various careers and participating in games and activities, including a trip to the zoo. -
Trico Centre
We love the variety of programs that the recently renovated Trico Centre is providing for kids of all ages. Half-day and full-day camps are available for kids to swim, get outdoors, play games and do crafts. -
Clay for Kids
Bring out the artist within at Pottery Camp. Children will work with a potter's wheel, try hand-sculpting and ceramic painting. The camps run either half-days or full-days and kids will have something to bring home each day of the camp. Camps are suitable for kids five and up. -
Tour de Calgary
Get your kids out and rolling along Calgary's bike pathways all day long at the Tour De Calgary camp. Kids will bike between 5 to 25 kilometers per day (8:30 am to 4:30 pm) and stop at places of interest along the way. This camp is designed for kids entering grade 2 that can already ride a bike. -
The Scientist
Grad is a few years away, but budding scientists may want an opportunity to scope out the U of C's Faculty of Science a few years early at The Scientist. Kids entering grade 2 conduct lab experiments (potentially including animal dissection), blast off into space (and make a model of their findings) or investigate the digestive process of animals at this Mini University camp. -
Director’s Cut Stop-Motion, Digital Comics Camp
Kids love to watch movies and they love to make them, too. The Director's Cut Stop-Motion, Digital Comics Camp gives kids aged 6 and up the chance to make their own movie using their toys, costumes and creativity. The camps include a trip to Cineplex theatres to watch a current film, and a day in the pool (for a change of scenery). Kids get a copy of their group masterpieces to take home following a private screening for parents. -
Summer Art Workshops
Budding artists create a canvas worth keeping (and displaying) at 4Cats. Paint or sculpt the extraterrestrial and sci-fi at these one, two or three hour workshops for kids starting at age 3. With different themes every day, sign up for just one or a variety of classes to give your little one their art fix for the summer. -
