Summer Camp 2020 - Creations from the Couch

The VAC will be running virtual camps this summer. Our creative juices are flowing! We're working hard behind the scenes (and at a safe distance) designing creative arts activities for the youth of Clarington. Our Art Camps may be at a distance but we're making sure they're extra special! Full details about art kits, activities, dates, and prices are available here. 
Online registration opens on June 18 at 10am!
