Winter Camp Half Day

4Cats Half-Day Winter Camp

A cozy half-day of colourful projects and creative fun.

Choose a morning or afternoon session and spend part of winter break making art at 4Cats!

What is 4Cats Half-Day Winter Camp?

Our Half-Day Winter Camps are packed with guided art projects, creative studio time, games, and plenty of opportunities for kids to explore their imaginations.

Campers will experiment with a variety of exciting art materials and techniques while creating in a welcoming, supportive studio environment.

Each camp session features its own lineup of projects and activities, making it easy to join us for one session or several throughout the winter break.

No experience is needed — we supply all the art materials. See "What to Bring" for what to pack from home.

What to Pack

One nut-free snack
A water bottle
Clothes that can get messy — paint doesn't wash out!

❄️ Please label everything! Make sure coats, hats, mittens, boots, snack bags, water bottles, and other belongings are clearly labelled with your child's name.

🎨 Dress for mess! Art materials can stain clothing and other belongings. 4Cats is not responsible for paint, stains, or other damage to clothing, coats, boots, shoes, or personal belongings brought into the studio. Please send your child in clothing and outerwear that you're comfortable getting messy.

Frequently Asked Questions

We want every child to feel safe, supported, and excited to create! We ask that all participants follow instructions, use materials respectfully, and treat others with kindness. Disruptive or unsafe behaviour — like throwing materials, not listening to instructors, or bothering other artists — may result in the child being removed from camp, with a parent or guardian called for immediate pickup. No refunds or credits are given for time missed this way.

Being on time matters — there's lots to do during each session! Late arrivals can be disruptive to the group and may delay activities. If you do arrive late, please come in quietly with your child to avoid interrupting the session.
