Campers will learn about the different scientific categories, processes and uses of rocks, crystals and other magnificent stone formations. They will be encouraged to explore these materials firsthand by making paint, witnessing chemical reactions and creating rock inspired art. All of the above with a breathtaking view of the most impressive rocks of all – the Rocky Mountains.

Art & Nature Summer Camps, for kids aged 6*-14, offer campers a hands-on connection to art, nature and Alberta’s heritage. Each week during July and August, our campers are inspired to create in a wide variety of art forms while exploring our natural setting through nature hikes and outdoor games and activities.
Our historic Education Centre is set on 80 acres of breathtaking rural scenery 20 minutes from south Calgary. Working with small groups of campers, our skilled instructors will present daily activities that encourage creativity, exploration, learning and fun.
