About the Camps
North Van Arts runs Camp Creative during Spring Break and Summer months at Maplewood House. Nestled within the trees, next to the Seymour River, this light- filled space is the perfect location for campers to connect with creativity in nature. Close by to Maplewood Farm, campers are often delighted to hear farmyard animal sounds throughout the day! Camp Creative is a wonderful opportunity for kids ages 6 – 11 years old to get messy, explore art, play in nature, and use the inspiration of the forest and the river to create various art projects.

Our camps are led by a professional instructor and supported by two dedicated assistants and a team of passionate volunteers. With a maximum of 12 participants per week, we ensure that every camper receives personalized attention, encouragement, and the freedom to explore their creativity. 

Each camp is packed with a fun range of projects, including eco-inspired creations, clay sculpting, fabric dyeing with natural materials, puppet-making, zine creation, painting, stamping, tie-dye, felting, and weaving. Campers also enjoy drama games and music. No weeks are the same, each session is uniquely shaped by the skills and passions of that camps lead instructor.

Each camp is unique. Sign up for one, two, or all of them!
