Unlock your child’s creative genius at DC

Every child has a Steven Spielberg, van Gogh, Einstein or Lady Gaga waiting to make a grand appearance. This year, let Durham College’s (DC) summer camps allow their talent to shine.

Offered through the School of Continuing Education, children between the ages of six and 14 have the opportunity to let their creativity blossom. Several weeklong programs are available to entertain, stimulate and provide children with lifelong memories, skills and tons of fun. All camps are offered at a beginner’s level in order to show new and creative ways of expression. Those who have previously completed one of the camps are offered advanced techniques and helpful tips to improve their skills.

Not all kids have the same interests but DC offers a variety of camps designed to appeal to all individual passions. Artistic children have the opportunity to participate in a variety of camps intended to further develop and strengthen artistic expertise while having fun. From filmmaking to sewing, DC’s summer camps offer a chance to explore new interests or expand on the old.

There is still room for creative thinking in one of our science-based camps. Children will be introduced to physics and the process of inventing through a variety of hands-on activities. These unique camps are catered to your child’s growing interest in all things science.

Children also have the opportunity to learn about engineering, architecture, construction and teamwork by participating in one of the LEGO® build camps made possible by Bricks 4 Kidz. These build camps are available as both creative and educational outlets, allowing children to understand complex concepts in a simple way.

All camps run Monday to Friday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. and childcare is available before and after each session. Parents have the option to send their child with a nut- and citrus-free lunch or enjoy a camper lunch for an additional fee.
