Hi Everyone

My name is Brigitte and I have been Volunteering with Michael Brown and the kids from the Harbourfront Summer Camp.

We have been doing amazing this year, and we have much to show for it.

The Room 13 program has been filled with creativity and joy. Which would not have been without the participation of the wonderful kids we have had this year in the program.

We have been working on different projects throughout the summer, and going on various field trips which all relate to how art is expressed through the minds of the kids and the society we live in.

Recently we went to The Distillery to take a walk through the Corkin Gallery, visit David Brown's Studio and take some photography of one of Toronto's historic landmarks. The kids were really involoved and we were warmly welcomed.

Much of our program has been held here at the Harbourfront and continues to grow since much of the kids that participate with the Room 13 program come back in the Fall.

We hope to see all the kids that have participated come back next year, since we love having them.

Make sure to checkout the link below and see the photography the kids have done over the Summer.
