Ah, Spring Break…a turning point in the year, the beginning of a new season and for some families – the end of stir-crazy winter days. It’s been a tough year for everyone, especially families and learners. As COVID regulations lift across the country, families like yours are yearning for connecting and engagement.
Which is why we are happy to inform you – you’ve come to the right place! As parents ourselves, we know first-hand the pressure to have FUN over Spring Break. If you’re looking for some exciting new virtual activities and camps to do with your children at home, our new program, HomeLearners Network, has you covered.
Our super fun virtual activities and camps are led and designed by passionate, BC certified educators and world-class instructors who will help your children and teens develop their creativity, self-expression, communication skills and confidence. All of our activities encourage connection and relationship-building as well.
You can attend our camps and activities with your child, they can do it solo (and make new friends), or you can invite their friends over to do it together. Here at HomeLearners Network, we’re all about using technology as a tool for off-screen, hands-on fun in your very own home.
NEW Spring Break Element Arts Camp for K-12
March 21 – 24, 2022
Grades K-12
4 X 60 minute sessions
In this four day virtual camp, your children will use the four elements – earth, air, fire, and water – to inspire and shape their art-making. Each day, they’ll learn and experiment with a different element to create unique art pieces.
Your children will create watercolour art, make a mobile with objects found in nature, and design art out of charcoal and earth.
Led by certified instructor and experienced artist, Amber Santos, this camp is sure to get your child thinking outside the box and become more inspired by the world around them to create art.
