Campers are supported in a creative and non-competitive environment where they can learn and experiment with different modes of artistic expression, have fun, build confidence, and most importantly, are free to be themselves. No previous experience with opera or music is required to participate in this program. Visit https://www.coc.ca/learn/summercamps for full details.

July 25-30, 2022 - Senior Company (Entering Gr. 9 to 1st year college/university)
