Summer is just around the corner, and if you're looking for summer camps that will inspire, educate, and entertain your creative youngster, the RCA Arts Blast camps are the perfect choice.
Why Choose RCA Arts Blast Summer Camps?
Our summer camps go beyond the usual day camp experience by offering specialized artistic activities that spark creativity and help build self-esteem and confidence. Whether your child loves art, performing, or is simply a creative spirit, our camps have something truly special to offer.
What Your Child Will Experience
Drama and Theatre: Kids can dive into different characters, act out stories, and let their imaginations run wild in a fun, relaxed atmosphere. They'll get to try on costumes, play games, and work together to create performances to present to parents.
Music and Dance: Kids love to move and make music! They'll learn simple songs, try out different instruments, and dance around with their friends. It's a great way for them to express themselves and discover what they enjoy most.
Painting and Sculpture: Kids get to get their hands messy with paint, clay, and all sorts of art supplies. They'll create their own masterpieces, experiment with colours, and make things they're excited to take home and show off.

The level of coordination, the plays, the music, it was outstanding. So obviously the kids had a great time, learned a lot. It was awesome.”
