What is your Spring Break Camp all about, and what do you want kids to learn or experience?
Emily Carr University’s Spring Break Art Camp is designed to inspire creativity, encourage exploration, and connect young artists and designers. We offer a range of hands-on courses exploring popular studio practices in art and design, all taught by professional creative educators who are actively working in their fields.
With a focus on building foundational skills and nurturing the creative process, our program is open to students in Grades 9–12 (ages 15–18), no matter their experience level. We want to make spring break fun, memorable, and genuinely rewarding for every student who walks through our doors.
What kind of activities can kids expect to enjoy during the camp?
Students can dive into a variety of hands-on courses, including Drawing, Illustration, Painting, Character Illustration, Environment Concept Art, and Industrial Design. Whether your teen is into sketching characters, building worlds on paper, or exploring how everyday objects get designed, there’s something here that’ll click for them. Each course is led by professional creative educators, so kids are learning real skills in a fun, studio-style setting that feels nothing like a regular school day.

“The two camps I attended at VISST were fantastic! The material was taught in a fun and engaging way, and we did many fun projects, such as building a gondola, and making multiple Als. I would definitely recommend the camps!”
“My son attended several VISST summer camps, including the Science Matters and Puzzle Game Programming camps, and had a great time. He loves Science and Technology and the camps increased his love for the topics and encouraged him to explore them further. The instructors are fun and engaging. I would definitely recommend them to everyone!”
