SummerArts Camps

Come prepared for the experience of a lifetime for your kids (and get a tax break!)

SummerArts Camp at Ross Creek is a program dedicated to fully engaging your child and giving them amazing new skills. Far more than an ordinary camp, Ross Creek gives your child all the advantages of an amazing art program with the rec and atmosphere of a traditional camp, all on an incredible site overlooking the Bay of Fundy.  We offer programs in dance, theatre, music and art. Come for a day or for the whole week of adventure and art!  Click here for more information.
