Backyard Club

Zoom in from your backyard while we make art and play through the lens of our senses!

In Backyard Club, kids will explore, create and enjoy their unique backyard spaces. They can zoom in from their treehouse, under their favourite tree, their patio or their deck. Kids will learn about the natural world around them through inquiry and research and then they will document their learning through art-making. Kids will work through the lens of our senses to slow down, observe and draw inspiration from the natural world.
