Christianne’s LYCEUM of Literature and Art
Summer camps at Christianne’s Lyceum celebrate literature and art, and put them where they should be — 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. The Lyceum is a cozy living room, a specialized library, a well-equipped studio and a whimsical art gallery bound up in one. Call for more information and registration: 604-733-1356
