Monday, May 31 | One-Day | Virtual | Ages 4-12 | 10:00 am – 3:00 pm
A full day of artistic adventures await! Plug in with us virtually and unleash your creativity using a variety of tools and materials, while meeting new friends in a fun and encouraging environment. Join us from the comfort of your home and stay engaged all day creating art and playing games, complete with several “recesses” throughout the day. Virtual campers will draw, paint, and sketch using a variety of techniques. Special guest, local author and theatre artist Jenna Shamata will lead campers through a series of silly and interactive drama activities to get you up on their feet and moving around, based on her book, The Accidental Mime. Parental guidance is welcome, but not required.

Meet Your Instructors
Instructor Kimberley Smith enjoys teaching painting to make a difference with people in her communities. She recognizes the need to safely bring people together during the pandemic. She is passionate about building connections and giving participants time to take their mind off things while they create a fun, memorable experience! Kimberley went to George Brown College of Applied Arts & Technology and has worked in many marketing and graphic design positions before building her own businesses, Young at Heart Painting and Kimberfly Design.
Guest instructor Jenna Shamata is a writer and comedy performer who grew up in Newmarket and is currently living in Toronto where she spends her days working on puzzles and tripping over her own feet. She currently teaches improv to kids and teens and works regularly as a nanny. She has also been an active volunteer with Camp Oochigeas for over 8 years and believes that humour and silliness is a very special and healing thing. Jenna is thrilled to be sharing her first children’s book The Accidental Mime! Just like her character Gigi, Jenna falls down a lot, but truly believes that the best things happen when you get back up!
