What to expect:
Get ready for a week (or two!) of kids’ summer camps packed with Chinatown adventures, hands-on art, and storytelling brought to life through music and performance!
Campers will have the exciting opportunity to create alongside professional performance artists Five Blessings Collective. Their multimedia stage work, Double Happiness, features the stories of two Chinese families and their migration journeys to Canada.
Guided by theatre artists and musicians, participants will learn songs, make props, and tell stories using writing and movement. By the end of each week, campers will present their own unique version of Double Happiness in a special Friday performance at the museum.
For a more immersive experience, we encourage families to register for both weeks, allowing campers to deepen their storytelling, sharpen performance skills, build friendships, and collaborate on a more fully developed final showcase.
Join us for a fun-filled, hands-on summer adventure at the Chinese Canadian Museum where creativity and imagination take centre stage!
