OUR PROGRAM
This summer let them explore the joy of the moment and the benefits of nature, music, arts, dance and yoga in a nurturing environment.
MUSIC
Choir, percussion, xylophone and intro guitar for age 7 and up.
DANCE
Contemporary, choreography and traditional country folk dances.
YOGA
Postures, breathing exercises, meditation, songs and games.
VISUAL ARTS
Painting, drawing, collage and crafts, among others.
NATURE
Rain or shine we are outside and children must dress appropriately. Being outdoors is essential at Anakkara Summer Camp. The kids spend at least two hours outdoors every day. Working in the garden or sprouting cereals together, making birdhouses or learning the names of the trees and plants in the neighbourhood are some of the activities that children will do outdoors, in addition to lunch and free unstructured time.
WEEKLY OUTINGS
Children from 8 to 12 years old go out twice a week to the surrounding area, in the city of Montreal. We travel by STM to different parks, festivals or museums. Last year we visited the Museum of Fine Arts, The Honourable George O’Reilly Park in Verdun and The Fur Trade at Lachine National Historic Site, among others.

Summer Camp 2026 outings to be confirmed soon!
