About our Play Camp ~ 12-3 or 4pm
It’s been my goal since opening The Paint Box in 2008 to be able to offer many of you what you’ve asked for and needed: Full Day Art Camps! Since our curriculum and space at the studio doesn’t lend itself well to full day/week programming I’ve always had my ears open waiting for an opportunity to partner with a business complimentary to my own. This winter, while taking my youngest boy Quinn to Bumble & Hive, I got to know Teresa the owner and my Summer Camp goal clicked into place!
If you’ve never heard of Teresa who owns Bumble & Hive, let me take this opportunity to introduce her to you: She is a mom to two kids, a 4 years old girl Kati and a 4 month old boy Bhodi. Two years ago she launched her business, Bumble & Hive, an indoor play space for kids up to 7 years old.

So now the details! Our Art Camps at The Paint Box are fairly focused and structured, therefore they lend well to morning camps. The “Play” aspect of our camps will be an optional afternoon add-on from 12-3 or 4pm. This is what the schedule will look like:
9-12 ~ Art Camp at The Paint Box
12-12:30 ~ Lunch at The Paint Box (provided by the parent)
12:30-1 ~ Shady neighbourhood walk to Bumble & Hive lead by Emily or Teresa, depending on the week. We will have a wagon with a shade cover for kids that need a ride and to carry everyones bags. We can also use the rainbow rope to keep kids connected and will avoid as many busy intersections as possible. Here is the route we are planning on walking:
Upon arrival the children will be signed into Bumble & Hive by Teresa or Emily. Then the program will continue with Teresa supervising and instructing.
1-1:30 ~ Free Play at Bumble & Hive
1:30-2 ~ Snack (provided by the parent)
2-3 ~ Special daily project lead by Teresa, such as: sensory tables, science, crafts, stories, gymnastics, games and more!
3 or 4 ~ Pick up or Free Play
The space offered by Bumble & Hive is perfect for our afternoon camps as it’s creative, cool, supervised and cozy. For kids that need downtime there’s nooks to read in tables with puzzles, imaginary play areas, and for kids with more energy to burn there are slides, a foam pit, ride-on toys and a fireman’s pole.
Definitely something for every child!

- What's the cost? The afternoon camp is $135 + gst until 3pm or $165 + gst until 4pm
- Can I pick up my child at lunch and drop them off for the 1pm camp? Yes, of course!
- Will the play place be open for public drop-in during the camp? Yes, but the summers & afternoons tend to be very quiet and all other drop-in kids come with parents who supervise them. Also, the Play Camp kids will use a separate private space for the activities Teresa has planned for them
- How many kids are there in each camp? 8 kids maximum
- Will each Play Camp offer different activities? Yes. Teresa and Emily are working together to create afternoon camps complimentary too each morning camp offered at The Paint Box.
- How do I register? When you register for a morning camp for ages 3-5 or 5-7 you will be asked if you'd like to add the afternoon camp for the extra camp cost, just answer Yes or No.
- How do I join the afternoon camp if I've already registered in the morning camp? Please email Emily at [email protected] and let her know which afternoon you'd like and she can add your child to that camp.
