About Christianne’s Lyceum
Christianne’s Lyceum is a centre that celebrates literature and
art and puts it at the centre of family and community life.
Through programs that emphasize making connections
between literature and what’s going on in the outside
world, the Lyceum encourages young people to see
themselves as readers, writers and artists, as they
engage with abstract ideas and reflect on their
own place in society. Armed with these experiences, students begin to seek possibility and
explore ways that they can use their voices
and actions to participate in their
communities.
About Summer Camps at the Lyceum
Our summer camps support children and youth as they engage in the
process of making, discovering the joy of manipulating materials with
their hands, transforming it to leave traces for others to decode. Join
us to experience the thrill of watching words pile up on a blank sheet
of paper, or invent imaginative worlds and dare to get lost in them.
Our staff gently facilitate these creative endeavours, helping young
people see their initial concepts of their stories or art projects come
to fruition. We co-construct curriculum to recognize the partnership
between teacher and learner. Lyceum staff listen carefully to students
reactions and questions, and allow these to guide the direction of further investigations. This means the summer camp your child attends
will take into account their interests and experiences, tailoring curriculum to meet, support and challenge them.
At the end of each camp, we’ll send home a brief snapshot of our time
together to let parents in on the magic we’ve conjured.
Let’s get creating!
What Makes Our Summer Camps Unique?
• A focus on the process of making, and on valuing such making
as a sustaining, life-long activity
• Co-constructed curriculum which makes it possible to meet
individual needs of participants

Dr. Christianne Hayward, Ph.D
Dr. Hayward is the primary architect and teacher
of each summer camp. She brings more than thirty years of experience as an educator, storyteller,
post-secondary school professor, teacher consultant
and pioneer of community literary programs to every
literary and creative investigation that evolves in our
studio. As class sizes are capped at approximately twelve students, each young artist will have the
chance to work closely with Dr. Hayward, with additional support from her staff of artists and writers, as
well as two to three volunteers.
Snack
We provide a healthy snack for participants that includes rice
crackers, cheese, a variety of fruit and water. We are able to
accommodate for most allergies. The Lyceum is a peanut-free
environment. Whenever possible, we try to have a picnic snack
in a local park to bring our adventures outdoors.
Age Restrictions
Age restrictions for our programs are guidelines only. If
your child is interested in a program that is aimed at a
slightly older or slightly younger age group, please give us
a call to discuss if this class would be a good fit for your
child. He or she may be welcome to join us.

Camps for Preschoolers
Insects in the City
Ages: 3 to 5
S
June 26 to 29 (four mornings)
9:00 AM to 12:00 PM S $190 + GST
They’re creepy. They’re crawly. They’re fascinating — so fascinating that we
set aside a week every summer to look closer. Each day we’ll share some of
our favourite bug-related stories to engage your preschooler’s natural interest
in the world of insects. Then, we’ll take trips into the outdoors where children
will be encouraged to observe bugs closely, and safely capture some specimens for more in-depth investigation. These close encounters will become the
inspiration for a mixed-media canvas to be constructed over the course of the
week, celebrating the important role that bugs play in our urban ecosystem.
This is a catch and release program.
NOT a BOX
June 26 to 29 (four afternoons)
1:30 PM to 4:30 PM S Ages: 3 to 5
S $190 + GST
When is a box not a box? When it’s a spaceship, obviously. When it’s a castle,
of course. When it’s ever-changing in the hands of a group of imaginative preschoolers. In this camp, we’ll look at the many things, large and small, that boxes can become with some basic art supplies and a whole lot of creativity. We’ll
share stories about the transformative power of the imagination, including Not
a Box by Antoinette Portis and Box by Rosaline Beourd Shaw and allow them to
inspire our creations, pushing ourselves to explore new ways of thinking about
something as basic as cardboard. As our ideas grow, so will the scope of our projects, until by the end of the week, we’ll be able to transform an ordinary box into
something truly extraordinary.
A Garden for You, A Garden for Me
July 4 to 7 (four mornings)
S
9:00 AM to 12:00 PM
Ages: 3 to 5 S $190 + GST
There are so many reasons to plant a garden! They can be a source of food,
a source of beauty, or a reason for community to come together. During this
camp, we’ll explore some of the reasons people plant gardens, as well as some of
the unexpected and unusual forms these gardens can take. Guided by a number
of beautifully illustrated picture books, including Varmints by Helen Ward and
Rose’s Garden by Peter H. Reynolds, we’ll also create our own unique gardens, including a garden in a large shell, a garden to share with the Lyceum’s neighbours
and a tiny balcony garden to take home and enjoy all summer long.
E ating Stories
July 17 to 21 (five mornings)
S
9:00 AM to 12:00 PM
Ages: 3 to 5 S $235 + GST
Food brings us together through story — the stories we tell around the table, the
stories of the people who prepare our food and the stories of the people who
grow it. During this program, we’ll share a number of our favourite food picture
books, and use them as a jumping off place for some food experiments of our
own. Who makes Vancouver’s best bagels? Can food ever become art? Can you
really make soup from a stone? Is it possible to turn a preschooler into a pizza?
These and many other delicious questions will be answered in a program that will
focus on having a sense of adventure when it comes to what you eat.
(Ages 3 to 5)
Wildlife in the City
July 31 to August 4 (five mornings)
S
9:00 AM to 12:00 PM
Ages: 3 to 5 S $235 + GST
Have you ever thought about how many wild animals call Vancouver home? In
this camp, we’ll explore the city through the eyes of the raccoons and birds,
squirrels and skunks that make up our urban eco-system. We’ll share a number of picture books that detail some of the challenges these animals face to
survive, and set up our own game camera to see if we can find any critters
prowling through the Lyceum’s garden at night. We’ll use our discussions, stories and observations as the basis for a series of animal-friendly art projects,
including teacup bird feeders and multi-media wildlife collages.
The Secret Life of Stuffies
August 8 to 11 (four mornings)
Ages: 3 to 5
S
S
9:00 AM to 12:00 PM
$190 + GST
Do your stuffies come alive at night and have marvellous adventures
while you sleep? We’re pretty sure that the Lyceum’s stuffies do,
and during this camp, we’re hoping a group of preschoolers can help
us come up with a plan to find out a bit more about about these after-dark escapades. To help us in our quest, we’ll read some of our
favourite picture books featuring stuffies, including Bun Ban Button by Patricia
Polacco and Red Ted and the Lost Things by Michael Rosen. We’ll also spend
time creating accessories for our stuffies, including clothing items, backpacks
and disguise masks. That way, no matter what our stuffies get up to while we
sleep, they’ll be well-equipped, well-prepared and ridiculously fashionable.
Celebrating Friendship
August 14 to 18 (five mornings)
S
9:00 AM to 12:00 PM
Ages: 3 to 5 S $235 + GST
Join us this August for a week devoted to exploring the life-changing magic of
friendship. How do we make friends? How do we keep them? Are there people in our lives who could use a friend that we could help? As we explore the
Lyceum’s vast collection of picture books about friendship, we’ll answer these
questions, and many others. We’ll also create beautiful pieces of friendly art
as we go along, including friendship bracelets and friend art profiles.
The Art of Spott i n g Patterns
August 28 to September 1 (five mornings)
9:00 AM to 12:00 PM
S
Ages: 3 to 5 S $235 + GST
Patterns are all around us. They tower above us as high rise windows. They
bloom in garden plots. They appear under our feet in carpets and interlocking
brick paths. In this camp, we’ll practice the art of spotting patterns, while we
use some of the Lyceum’s favourite activities to create no end of patterns of
our own. We’ll create patterns with food, in mosaic tile, with beads, and on
beautiful collages. As we go, we’ll share a number of stories that use patterns,
either in their illustrations, or in their language. This camp offers preschoolers
a wonderful opportunity to try a variety of different art media.

Ages: 5 to 9 S $190 + GST
The foundation of beautiful writing? Beautiful words, of course! Over the course of
four days we’ll take on the task of collecting beautiful words. We’ll venture out into
our neighbourhood to see what words we can find, go on a word treasure hunt at
a local park and invent some much-needed words of our own. Then, we’ll use the
words we’ve collected and invented in a plethora (great word, right?) of writing and
art projects — everything from word charm bracelets to haikus! What constitutes
a beautiful word? That’s up to you, but here are some that we like: whisper, helium,
pterodactyl.
The Secret Garden
S
July 10 to 14 (five full days)
Ages: 5 to 12 S 9:00 AM to 4:30 PM S $465 + GST
Want to immerse yourself in a classic work of children’s literature, plant a secret
garden in Kitsilano and discover the joy of watching something you’ve tended
grow? More information in the Intermediate section.
Magical Fairy Lands: A Brief Introduction
July 17 to 21 (five afternoons)
S
1:30 PM to 4:30 PM
Ages: 5 to 9 S $235 + GST
For one week in July, Vancouver’s preeminent fairy anthropologist, Dr. Christianne Hayward, will lead a group of young fairy experts on a magical field research expedition.
With the goal of better understanding fairy society, the group will explore some of the
places in our community where fairy activity has been reported and delve into the fairy
tales and folklore that has been passed down to us from fairy researchers of previous
generations. Taking what we learn, we’ll fashion intricate miniature fairy scenes in glass
globes — the perfect way to let fairies know that your home is a safe and welcoming
place for them to touch down as they fly throughout the Lower Mainland this summer.
At the end of camp, we’ll celebrate our (no doubt vast) contributions to the burgeoning field of Fairy Studies with one of the Lyceum’s famous fairy teas.
Community Art
July 24 to 28 (five mornings)
S
9:00 AM to 12:00 PM
Ages: 5 to 9 S $235 + GST
What can we do to make Kitsilano more beautiful? In this camp we’ll approach
this difficult question with paintbrushes in hand, setting out into the neighbourhood around the Lyceum to create works of public art. From murals to Andy
Goldsworthy-inspired site-specific installations, we’ll look at the ways that art
can make the ordinary extraordinary, and work together to make something
truly amazing for our truly amazing community!
Journaling
& Drawing Our Way Through the Neighbourhood
July 24 to 28 (five afternoons) S 1:30 PM to 4:30 PM S Ages: 5 to 12 S $235 + GST
What makes a community? Find out by joining us for this writing and drawing
camp. More information in the Intermediate section.
Inventing Art
July 31 to August 4 (five afternoons)
(Ages 5 to 9)
S
1:30 PM to 4:30 PM
Ages: 5 to 9 S $235 + GST
One of our favourite words at the Lyceum is possibilities. When presented
with a pile of second-hand appliances, toys and knick-knacks, what possibilities
will our young artists see? What amazing things will they make? We’ll look at some
of the amazing found object sculptures that are being created by artists around the
world, and some of the important messages they convey. As we embark on our
own artistic journeys, we’ll be supported by the Lyceum’s vast collection of art
materials, and some truly astounding literature, in particular the work of Shaun
Tan. You know what word goes really well with possibilities? Endless.
Gnomes
August 8 to 11 (four afternoons)
1:30 PM to 4:30 PM S Ages: 5 to 9 S $190 + GST
For the past three summers, we have struck up a relationship with a small group of
gnomes that live in Pacific Spirit Park. From them, we have learned a bit more about
the lives of these fascinating protectors of the forest. To further cement our relationship, we plan to create a series of free stores — places where gnomes can go to collect
items to aid them in their woodland care taking. During this camp, you will create your
own small free store, and stock it with everything form tiny maps to minuscule bowls,
fire starters to button paintings. At the end of the week, each camper will take their
store home and set it up in a bedroom or garden, creating a city-wide support system
for our gnome friends as they continue their important ecological work.
A Forest Fairy Village
August 14 to 18 (five afternoons)
S
1:30 PM to 4:30 PM S Ages: 5 to 9 S $235 + GST
We’ve partnered with a very special 8-year-old in our community to create this camp for
those looking to bring a touch of magic to their summers. Over the course of the week,
we’ll be delving into the diverse and wondrous world of the fey — learning a bit more
about the fairies, gnomes and pixies that make their home in nearby Pacific Spirit Park.
As we go, we’ll be creating a village for these creatures from natural materials, working
together in teams to make elaborate structures, and fill them with intricate furniture, and
tasty fairy-sized morsels. With dwellings complete we’ll take them to the park, where
we’ll photograph them in detail before sprinkling them with Attracting Dust and leaving
them to be discovered.
Harry Potter August 21 to 25 (five full days)
S
9:00 AM to 4:30 PM

August 28 to September 1 (five afternoons)
S
1:30 PM to 4:30 PM
Ages: 5 to 9 S $235 + GST
This city is full of treasure, if you just know how to look for it. And look we will! We’ll
look around our homes and neighbourhood to find objects that we can turn into
beautiful works of art. We’ll look in books and magazines to see whether they might
contain hidden poems and images. We’ll also go out into our community and hunt for
geocaches — adding our names to the lists of other treasure hunters who have found
them before us. Finally, we’ll create a geocache of our own, filling it with
treasure of our own making for others to find.

S
$465 + GST
When Mary Lennox brings a hidden garden back to life in Frances
Hodgson Burnett’s The Secret Garden, it changes the lives of everyone
around her. During our week together, we’ll try to capture some of
the magic that Mary discovered in tending to the soil, watching plants
grow and finding beauty in unexpected places. We’ll find the hidden growing spots
in our community, and take ownership of one of them for a week, creating our own secret garden.
Not only will we tend this bit of land, and fill it with colourful flowers and mosses, we’ll also add
our own magical touches, including mosaic tiled stones and places to sit and watch the world go
by. We’ll also spend time reading The Secret Garden, getting to know Mary, Colin and Dickon and
their just-coming-to-life surroundings. At the end of the week, students will take what they have
learned and create their own balcony garden to take home — a reminder that, as Mary says, “If you
look the right way, you can see that the whole world is a garden.”

S
$235 + GST
What makes a community? Each student will be given a journal to write and sketch
in as we journey around our neighbourhood and chronicle meaningful landmarks.
We’ll visit local entrepreneurs to learn a little of the history of their business, documenting as we go. Even if you live far away, getting to know one urban district
sets the base for learning about others. We hope that this camp will help students develop a keen eye for observing both the ordinary and unusual. Those
who have enjoyed this workshop in the past may wish to take it again as we’ll
be visiting a number of new locations this year.

four evenings of comic mayhem! Each night, you’ll be presented with a unique
comic drawing challenge and then given the materials you’ll need to complete it
with flair. We’ll move from single strip comics to longer comic zines, being sure to
discuss everything from point of view to gutter placing to capturing the passage
of time as we go. Along the way, our efforts will be supported by the Lyceum’s
extraordinary collection of comics and graphic novels.

Have you been hearing the pitter-patter of elf feet in our mezzanine? The low moan of a ghost in our bathroom? Wait...did that
picture just move? If you’ve always dreamed of the day you would get
your letter from Hogwarts, now’s your chance. For one week this August, we’ll
use our imaginations to transform the Lyceum into Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. In the course of the week, we’ll pack in as many Harry
Potter-themed activities as is humanly (wizardly?) possible. We’ll visit Snape’s
potion class to create fabulous fizzing concoctions. We’ll decorate our own
brooms, which we’ll then use to play a game of Quidditch at a nearby park.
We’ll read favourite selections from the book and visit Honeyduke’s Sweetshop.
Our Harry Potter crafts are nothing short of magical, and we have a ton of new
ones planned for this week! Basically, we’ll need a time turner to pack all the fun into just one week!

S
S
6:00 PM to 9:00 PM
$235 + GST
In this writers’ workshop for intermediate students, we’ll look at some of the many
techniques that writers use to turn blank pages into unique works of art. We’ll focus
on letting go of the ‘rules’ of writing so that we can play with words and ideas without
stressing about what they mean, or what anyone else will say. Writing provocations will
be offered to get pens flowing, writing by published authors will be read for inspiration
and ideas will be aired in group discussion, By the end of the workshop, each writer
will publish a pamphlet of his or her own writing complete with beautiful illustrations.
On the final day of camp, we’ll invite parents to join us for the final half hour to hear a selection of our
new creations.

6:00 PM to 9:00 PM
$260 per pair + GST
Youth and their parents are invited to join us for a special week
dedicated to spending time together. We’ll be mixing our own
tea blends, learning to make some delicious treats, and trying out
all of the Lyceum’s best art materials. Always wanted to paint
a teapot? Lose yourself in collage materials? Create a stunning
necklace? This is the week for you. Bring an openness to new
experiences and we’ll provide the relaxed environment for you to get
making. The artistically challenged are most welcome — we guarantee
that you’ll have fun (and the support to create something you can both
be proud of!)
Social Media Art

Have you ever thought of how many incredible pictures you’ve
taken for Instagram? In in this workshop we’re inviting teens to
join us to celebrate the creative impulses that underly so much
of our online life, creating art from, and for social media. We’re
slightly old when it comes to the Internet, but we do know a lot
about making art, so we’re proposing a collaboration. You bring
your phones and we’ll bring the entirety of the Lyceum’s art supplies, and our abilities as facilitators and champions of the creative
process. Then, we’ll work together to create some truly beautiful things. Coasters and magnets from Instagram photos? Visual
poems? Video stories? The possibilities are endless, (and we heart
them all).
Craftivism
July 24 to 28 (five evenings)
Ages: 12 to 18
S
S
6:00 PM to 9:00 PM
$235 + GST
In this camp, we’ll be looking at the ways that craft can be employed
to make our voices stronger and help us in our quest for justice. We’ll
look at the many ways people have used traditional crafts — everything
from knitting to weaving, cross-stitching to felting — to amplify their
message and get it out into the world. Then, we’ll choose a topic we
feel passionately about and plan our own crafted installation which we’ll
unleash onto our community on the final day of camp.
Covert Publishing

Ages: 12 to 18
S
(Ages 12 to 18)
S
6:00 PM to 9:00 PM
$235 + GST
In this camp, we’ll look at the many creative ways that authors are
finding an audience. From pamphlets to short films, roadside writing stands to poetry boxing matches, we’ll take inspiration from
Canada’s vibrant small press scene to vision and enact our own
covert and out-of-the-ordinary publishing projects. Along the
way, we’ll put aside time to write, talk about the energy inherent
in collaboration and make some some truly beautiful publications.
Let’s get your writing into the hands of your readers!

Joining the tradition of Tom Thomson, Emily Carr and the Group of
Seven, we’ll take our sketchbooks, drawing pencils, and paints out of
doors this week. Using stories about these artists to ground our work
in the rich tradition of Canadian art, we’ll draw inspiration from Mother
Nature’s paintbrush and create our own moving lines and unique colour
palettes. We’ll also disrupt realistic landscapes by twisting colour, shape
and orientation to please our own aesthetics.

Just before school starts up again, the Lyceum offers to take
teens through the art of essay writing. What exactly is a thesis
statement? How the heck do you prove it? What’s all this stuff
about citing sources? We’ll walk you through it step by step,
providing you with no-fail techniques for tackling any essay that
might be thrown your way. Using the strangest topics you’ll ever
come across, we’ll write two essays in the course of the workshop,
giving you the chance to try out everything you’ve learned and
receive one-on-one feedback from Lyceum staff.
