Youth Summer Camps

We are excited to offer our 9th summer of camps at Create Art Studio!

Our youth camps are thoughtfully curated with a focus on fun and inspirational activities that engage, entertain and develop their creativity while staying safe. We know older kids are more capable and self-directed, so they have greater independence and responsibility in their camp experience, and most important, are separate from the younger campers.

It’s why youth in Toronto know our camps are the best!

Youth Art Camps

Full day Camps for ages 11-14

Our summer camps aren’t just for ‘little’ kids. Our full day camps for middle school aged campers will engage them in more advanced art projects based on the theme each week.

Each day campers will spend mornings in the studio working on art projects and time each afternoon outdoors getting fresh air, playing games or doing art in the park. One day each week will be a fun field trip to a related attraction in Toronto, such as the AGO, ROM, Textile Museum, and Little Canada. We travel by TTC for our field trips.

Camp hours are 9:00am – 4:00pm and there are no separate extended hours for this age group. Campers in Youth Camp are able to leave on their own with parent / guardian permission.

Weekly Camp Themes

Week one begins with 5 individual days of camp, followed by nine full weeks. All weeks feature different themes and a wide range of projects, so campers will be entertained and engaged all summer!

Do you offer a sibling or multi-week discount?
My child is 10 years old - can they attend tween camp?
Do you have extended hours?

Yes! Campers needing extra hours will be able to sign up through a link provided no later than one week prior to camp start date. Extended hours are from 8:30am to 5:45pm. The fee for extended hours is $30 per day and you only need to sign up for the days you need.

Extended hours registration opens one week prior to camp start. There’s enough room in extended hours for all campers, so no need to sign up early.
Where do you go for field trips?

Our field trips are to local Toronto attractions and businesses that align with the theme of the week and provide an enhanced learning opportunity. In the past we have visited the AGO, ROM, Little Canada, Museum of Illusions, Arcadia Earth , Gibson House Museum, and more!
How do you travel to field trip locations?
Will you take campers swimming?
Tell me more about pizza lunch!

New in 2026 on Fridays of full week camps (4 or more days) we will offer a pizza lunch for campers in our art camps. We order from the local Pizza Nova restaurant and can accommodate most dietary restrictions, including if your child doesn’t like cheese on their pizza. We order cheese and pepperoni pizzas based on camper requests in the morning.
Is there an extra charge for field trips and pizza lunch?
Why does the registration process add 13% to the camp fee - is that HST?

While there is no HST on day camp fees, our booking system cannot treat camps differently than classes, so we adjust the displayed fee to account for the extra 13% fee that will be added during check out. We don’t love this confusing system either, but our accountant says we have to do it this way.
Can my camper arrive and leave on their own?
My child wants to be in the same group as their friend or sibling
