    My daughter had a wonderful experience at this summer theatre camp. She especially loved the drama activities, which were always fun, engaging, and different each day. The variety kept her excited to come back every morning and help build her confidence and creativity. She also really enjoyed the outdoor time and trips to the park, which provided a great balance to the indoor activities. Kaime and her camp staff created a positive and energetic environment for the campers as well. We would definitely recommend this camp to other families and look forward to returning next summer!

    AiDa is an excellent arts camp, encouraging campers to think outside the box and explore new strategies while acting. It is a camp that not only focuses on each and every kid having a great day, but also on the community it is in and the people around it.
    AiDa makes an effort to give at least a 2:1 ratio of campers to counsellors, so every camper can have fun doing an activity with a counsellor that they like.
    Common activities at AiDa include:
    - Nature walks
    - Drama games
    - Making and performing short plays
    - Visiting the park/splash pad
    - Having guest presenters
    - Many mediums of visual Arts
    And even though AiDa has a weekly schedule, every week brings fresh…

    My daughter has really blossomed with the help of these classes. It's helped her to feel confident in social situations. Kaime is very supportive and a great drama instructor. AiDA rocks !

  • Jillian W.January 2026

    Our son jumped into the deep end with his first round of all-day summer camps at age 4. He sampled a half dozen high quality local camp opportunities, ranking AiDa his favourite experience as the summer wound down. Fast forward to January, as camp registrations open, not only does he remember AiDa - he requested the camp for his entire summer enrolment! Kaime and her incredible team of enthusiastic, supportive, welcoming, engaging leaders/mentors are truly transforming lives. Thank you for creating a space for students of all ages to feel seen, accepted and encouraged to be themselves. (Organizationally, the camp appears to be executed flawlessly, from dropoff to…

    A fantastic summer camp! It's the favourite of both of my daughters who have attended a number of different camps in the city. Now returning as a leader is a highlight of the summer. They always have a great time and come home happy and feeling creatively inspired!!

    Probably one the best thing I did for my son so far. He is 7 years old though.
    As he is not super athletic he always felt he’s not good enough whatever sport he was playing and didn’t wanna engage much in anything.
    Then we decided to challenge his artistic side and see if he can find himself there.
    It is amazing how much confidence he gained and how outspoken he became for a short period of time.
    He finally feels he belongs and calls AiDa “My Happy Place “. He became more open to try new things as well.
    Thank you Kaime for unforgettable March break camp.
    You are an amazing person with extraordinary life energy, love and kindness.
    Also would like to thank your team…
