Each year, the Estevan Arts Council holds a three-day day camp during the February break, and each year it sells out. This year was no different.
The day camp took place at the Leisure Centre from Tuesday to Thursday, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., making life a bit easier for parents who have to work, and yet the kids are not at school, according to Melanie Memory, administration secretary for the Estevan Arts Council.
“It’s awesome here,” said Bentley Urquhart, 8, on Tuesday before heading off to a lunch catered by the Leisure Centre cafeteria. She and her compatriots had just finished banging finishing nails into planks of wood. Later, they would use string around those nails to make string art.
“We take 30 kids, and it’s full,” said Memory. The participants were 6 to 12 years old.
There is a fee associated with the day camp.
In addition to the art, the kids got to go swimming in the pool.
