It is a tis the season for Spring Cleaning of our art supplies! Which means it is the perfect opportunity for open studio nights!

Open studio nights are an opportunity for youth to mix and match different mediums, bits and bobs of supplies, and really let their imagination run wild to bring their art creations to life.

For the younger youth last night they were working on fairy houses as a jumping off theme and then they took them in very different directions!

Do you know a youth ages 8-12 who likes art and to be creative? We have open spaces in our summer programming beginning in June! 6-8pm weekly on Wednesday at Saint Andrews United Church.

At the heart of our HeART programs is supporting and empowering youth to take the lead in their own recreation journeys. From exploring new art styles, to building coping and resiliency skills through mindfulness, to discovering meaningful ways to give back to their communities.

Our youth continue to grow, create, and inspire us every day.

For some of our youth, that looked like spending today volunteering at a day camp and making a difference in the lives of others. 🎨✨
