Camps & Workshops

What is this workshop about?

Come explore with us and learn! In these classes, participants will be engaged in fun, real life social and communication skills to develop their  French language. Science have proven that music is a great way to learn new languages as well as hands-on-learning. We have specifically designed this program to do just that. Children will learn French through music and exploring the outdoors/nature with the instructor. Since it is an outdoor program, it is safer and allows children to have more space to express themselves creatively. There will be lots of singing, dancing, games, activities and nature exploring. In addition, children will have opportunities to form new friendships, and develop strong problem-solving skills.

*Classes will run come rain or shine! Please dress your child in layers and have waterproof attire and sunscreen. Each child will need to bring their own bottle of water.   

Kids will learn:

• Singing, Dancing, & Music to help learn French
• Language development & Communication skills
• Games and Activities & Outdoor Exploration
• Social skills & Self-expression
• Collaborative and individual problem-solving skills

Music & Animation Tech Camp: Join us for a one-week, full-day program where we will explore how to make our own videos using 2 forms of animation (2D & Stop Motion). Participants will use their laptops to record audio and video, learn editing software, how to sound engineer their own music tracks and make animations. All participants must have basic computer knowledge.

All participants will start from scratch, learning the processes of how to move the animation, record the sound, then put it all together for their final video! From simple common devices (eg. smartphones), to professional equipment (eg. MIDI Keyboards), participants will practice using different devices for recording music and sound effects for their videos. Lego characters will be made for the Stop Motion Animation. On the last day of camp, there will be a showcasing of all the things they have learnt and created throughout the week.

*Equipment you need to bring for camp: phone that can record videos, pencil and paper, Lego pieces or playdough laptop, Pre-download “Reaper Daw” Free version & “VideoPad” Free version & “Animatron” (Create your own free account and tell your child what the login is). Participants who do not have this will not be able to participate. There is an additional $25 for sound recording equipment. (Cost: $72/day + $25 = $385)
