This is an awesome week of new friends, laughter, and creative craziness!

All Day Camps are $60 each or $250 for all 5 days of fun. The Week-long Theatre camp is also $250.

EARLY BIRD Special $5 off per day, or $15 off for the whole week. Early Bird Deadline, January 1.

Camp runs from 9 – 5

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.
Bus fills fast, so please call to check on bus availability.

Bursaries and Scholarships

We are pleased to offer full and half bursaries and scholarships for students who need financial aid. Bursary applications require letters of reference, so please apply early. Bursary decisions are made by a committee and are based on need and merit. We regret that we cannot give full bursaries to all students, but are delighted that we are able to fund a full 10 % of all students through the generosity of corporations, businesses, individuals and some schools. Bursary applications for March Break are available by clicking here. The Deadline for submissions is January 15.
