The Friends of the Suncor Energy Centre for the Performing Arts (FoSECPA), through generous funding provided by the Regional Municipality of Wood Buffalo, offers dynamic, affordable and accessible community programming for the Wood Buffalo region that is facilitated by professionals in the field of visual and performing arts.
It will be a summer full of fun that includes a wide variety of visual and performing arts classes designed to inspire the artist in every child who attends.
Each camp is geared to a specific age range, but please email us at secpa@fmcsd.ab.ca if your child falls outside the age range but would love to participate!
All theatre camps are produced, delivered and directed by our amazing friends at Theatre; Just Because!
The visual arts camp will be delivered by visual arts professional Lily Jimenez.
