The Education & Programming team is looking forward to running AGO art camps again this year! To learn more about how this year’s camps may affect staff, please read this message from Brit Higgens, Manager, Camp, Courses and Studio Programming.
When do camps begin?
- Camps will run from Monday, June 29, to Friday, September 4 (10 weeks this year!) There will be no camps on Wednesday, July 1, for Canada Day.
- The Gallery will be welcoming over 150 campers, and 30 volunteers each week for a fun-filled, creativity-fueled day camp experience.
- Our full counsellor team started on Monday, June 22, and volunteers joined us for training on June 25. Thanks in advance for everyone’s support in welcoming our team and campers for the summer season!
How might camps affect staff and volunteers?
The camps will be using multiple spaces in the Weston Family Learning Centre (WFLC). Please keep this in mind when booking internal meetings.
These spaces include:
- Seminar Rooms 1, 2 and 3 all summer
- The Gallery School
- The Education Meeting Room all summer
- The Education/Camp Office
- The VSP recording space
Camps will exit to Grange Park via the South Entrance (Robert Harding Hall) for outdoor time and lunch breaks. We will also use the South Entrance for occasional programming. Please be mindful that the WFLC and concourse area will be filled with lots of activity and energy!
Thank you for your support!
