SUMMARY:Winter Day Camp - Painting & Pottery
DESCRIPTION:Pottery has played a crucial role in human history\, serving as a vital resource for archeologists in understanding ancient cultures and daily life. Pottery is not only functional but also a medium for artistic expression\, reflecting cultural identities. \nWe will also explore how to make paint using natural resources. For instance\, the Ktunaxa used Namita qakxaǂ ʔitkniǂni ʔaknusmi\, “Paint made from red clay”. This natural source found locally provided the Ktunaxa with materials for creating vibrant reds\, used in art and for other traditional purposes. \nPottery and painting allow children to explore their imagination and creativity. Transforming a lump of clay into unique creations\, fosters a sense of ownership and boosts self esteem by having pride in their work. During this Day Camp we will visit Cranbrook Arts for a session in their pottery studio and a chance to paint their works of art! \n8:30am-4:00pm \nAges 5-10 \n$55.00 + GST \nREGISTER HERE \n

SUMMARY:Ed Talk - A 100 years of history with the Cranbrook Library
DESCRIPTION:In 1912\, a visitor to Cranbrook felt “something is wrong with the people.” He lamented “In all my travels over British Columbia…Cranbrook is the only city of importance which I have visited in which there is no public library.” This was not the first nor the last complaint of this nature. Every since the railway’s arrival in 1898\, the growing population wondered why Cranbrook was a town without books. Mike Selby will tell the fascinating story of Cranbrook’s struggle to obtain a public library\, and how it kept it open for a full century. The story of the Cranbrook Public Library is the story of Cranbrook itself. \n  \nBio: \nMike Selby is an award-winning author\, columnist\, and professional librarian.

SUMMARY:Winter Day Camp - Clowning Around: Circus Arts
DESCRIPTION:The circus is one of the purest and most universal forms of entertainment. The circus has become a unique art form that combines diverse disciplines such as acrobatics\, juggling\, contortion\, music\, acting and dance. It has historically reflected cultural diversity\, incorporating elements from different traditions and artistic styles from around the world. \nHere in Cranbrook\, we have close ties to the circus through our very own Cranbrook Ed\, the escaped circus elephant that put us on the map! We will learn the story of Cranbrook Ed and explore our creativity through clowning and circus arts. \nCircus arts might seem like an unconventional activity for kids\, but they are one of the most engaging ways to foster creativity\, confidence\, and physical fitness. Introducing children to circus arts can be a fun and transformative experience that leaves a lasting impact on their personal and physical growth. \n8:30am-4:00pm \nAges 5-10 \n$45.00 + GST \nREGISTER HERE \n
