Winter Makers Camp

A Creative, Connected, and Confidence-Building Winter Break on Granville Island. This winter, we’re opening the doors to something special. Winter Makers Camp is a warm, small-group experience designed to help children create, connect, and grow - all inside the beautiful Zameen Art House on Granville Island.

Our days are simple, structured, and meaningful: we make art, we explore stories, we move, we talk, and we learn how to understand our feelings and each other. Every activity has intention behind it — confidence, emotional safety, communication, teamwork — but everything is delivered through play, creativity, and gentle guidance.

Families can join us for:

  • Week 1 (3 days)
  • Week 2 (4 days)
  • Or the full camp experience (7 days)

Whichever option you choose, your child will have a supportive, engaging winter break surrounded by creativity.
