YAK Camps:
Art Camp
Art Camp is a fantastic place for young people to come and explore a wide variety of creative mediums in an environment steeped in the joy of Fine Arts. Clay, pottery, ceramic painting, acrylic painting on canvas, water colours, sculpture, mixed media projects, printmaking, screening, craft projects, fabric painting, fantastic face painting, inflatables, 25 Plasma Cars for the gymnasium and of course our famous environmentally friendly multi-media projects which change every year ie: worm composter, Mason Bee Houses, community sharing boxes, cool garden projects, tile trays etc. We are currently inventing this year's project.
There is an art show every Friday from 3:30-4:30 of all the kids' projects that they worked on all week.
This is our longest running camp. We have been doing Art Camp for 25 summers now and many of the campers that came to these camps when they were young are now leading them with the help of C.I.T.'s who are also former Y.A.K. Campers. Also this summer we have three education graduates from McArthur College working for us that have degrees in the arts, music degree and fine arts degrees as well this summer Carrie Whalen will be be working full time at the St. Johns Anglican Church location
Carrie Whalen, the founder of Y.A.K. and a fine arts and fashion design graduate, plans the projects, directs, and oversees all of the camps at both spaces along with her husband Jonathan Morin.

Sr. Art Camp
Sr. Art Camp takes the skills that have been learned in Jr. Art camp and challenges the youths' in a variety of similar projects at a more advanced level. The senior group will have options regarding their projects that they wish to pursue; such projects include: several ceramic projects, acrylic painting, sculpture, print making, screening, face-painting, fabric painting, sewing, and more.
The Sr. group will have access to all the same games and activities including Plasma cars, outdoor equipment, access to the park, games and all other activities that YAK has been known for.
