This is going to be a great workshop!

Troll Hunters
There is a Scandinavian folk belief that lightning frightens away Trolls and sunlight turns them to stone, but is this true? Come join us and explore Troll myths through folklore and legend. You’ll spend the day creating your own Trolls, learning where they live, and why they are so ugly and angry!

Perfect Print
During this awesome day, campers will explore Ross Creek’s 178 acres of farm, forest and summer camp for cool inspirations for printmaking. They will turn stones, look under logs, follow footprints, and find brilliant natural objects of nature to create amazing print works of art. Campers will learn techniques such as relief printing and mono-printing, and find new ways to create art from the environment.

Arts Bus
The Arts Bus runs during March Break and will travel throughout the Valley to make it easier for parents to get their children to Ross Creek. There are only 14 seats, so first come first served. Bus service is an additional $10 a day, regardless of whether taken both ways.  It is supported by O’Regan’s, Clean Nova Scotia and Michelin.
Bus fills fast, so please call to check on bus availability.
