A note from our Summer Camp Directors

A note from Lauren Caldwell and Jamie-Lee Warner:

As the Summer Camp Directors, we have had the pleasure of encouraging the arts and creativity to hundreds of children this summer. Projects have been filled with colours; sculptures have been created using many different media - some of our projects have even been hidden on Main Street Unionville for all the community to enjoy!

We get messier and have tons of fun at every Summer Camp at Varley!

We want to give a special thank you to all our enthuasiastic staff who join camp to make sure becomes the vibrant and educational programme that we strive for at the Varley.

We are very sad to see Summer Camp 2010 come to a close, but look toward Summer 2011 with eager anticipation!
