Camp Artemusik Activities

Choir

Our day starts off with our choir workshop. All participants in the Camp Artemusik for 5- to 15-year-olds are grouped together to learn songs and to form one big mixed choir.

Works in every style are sung out with glee...

What a great way to greet the new day!

Arts & Crafts

Set, costumes and accessories are on the menu of our arts & crafts workshop.

We cut, paint, draw, colour, assemble, invent and create all sorts of fun stuff!

Several small, medium and large projects with one common goal: to lend a magical atmosphere to our End-of-Camp Show.

What more could you wish for?!?

Dance

The dance workshop allows « every body » to express themselves... From your head to your toes, your navel and your nose, this is your chance to shake, rattle and release all your pent-up energy!

Self-expression, coordination, motor memory, music and rhythm awareness are what make this workshop so popular every year!

Simply AWESOME!!!

Drama

To be or not to be. That is the question. Indeed, the drama workshop is the place to ask all the big questions: to be... a flower? or... a squirrel? An elephant, or an ant? A princess, or a knight?

But never fear! We have the answers to all these existential queries. Each camper gets a role to play and prepares throughout the two-week session to perform it at the End-of-Camp Show.

Irresistible, n'est-ce pas?

Percussion

In the percussion workshop we get to experiment with all sorts of instruments: xylophones, bongos, congas, drums, tam-tams, cymbals, shakers, thunder sheet, cowbells, drum set, triangles, cans, plastic containers, garbage pails, et cetera, et cetera!

We explore all facets of sound, rhythm and music. Time to make some noise? Nooooo! Time to make A LOT of noise! And what's more, we put it all together to create one funky piece of percussive music!

It's so much fun it's crazy!

Sports and games activities outside

What better way to stretch your legs than to go run outside? The sports and games activity happens mostly outdoors, on the main campus of McGill University or at F.A.C.E.'s schoolyard.

Soccer, all kinds of tag, parachute, obstacle courses, kimball, tag-team running, "planets" (this one is good for getting dirty!!!), "mafia," "conductor," "pear ball," "Ali Baba," etc.

Our counsellors' imaginations are endless! They'll make sure you have an unforgettable time!!!

Marathon

Camp Artemusik has a Marathon on the last Thursday of each session. It is also our first dress rehearsal in the Hall in preparation for our End-of-Camp Show.
