Art Class with Young Rembrandts
April 19 – June 7, 2023, 5:30 – 6:30 pm | Ages 6 – 12 years
$130 LBCA Members | $150 Non-Members
It’s time to register for our new spring classes!
If you think your student is wanting to be an architect, they will love our city skyline lesson. Learning to develop and apply patterns is the focus as our artists venture into the wild as they create an intricate zebra drawing. Later, our students will learn about cool and warm colours and realism with the tower bridge and our art history lesson focusing on Gustav Klimt. Of course, it wouldn’t be spring without a drawing of new baby bunnies and a fawn.
Get creative and join the fun today!

Outdoor Soccer: Spring 2023
The LBCA is excited to announce that our Grassroots Outdoor Soccer Program is back this spring, in partnership with SoccerTech, and better than ever! This season, to provide the best possible learning and development environment for players, we’ve implemented some changes based on feedback from parents and community members:
- Children, ages 3 – 9 years, will be divided into groups based on birth-year: U4, U5, U6, U8 and U10. We will not have a U12 group this year.
- An LBCA Soccer Coordinator will be on the field every night to point parents and players in the right direction while addressing questions or concerns.
- Players will be pre-assigned to fields. A map will be available for parents online through the LBCA after registration has closed.
- Uniforms will be available for pickup at the LBCA office before the season kicks off. Parents will be notified when uniforms are ready.
Program dates, times, pricing and registration can be found on the SoccerTech Website. The LBCA is looking forward to a new and improved soccer season!

Not only will our students learn how to illustrate science fiction-inspired characters and moments, but they will also strengthen their drawing and colouring skills. From astronauts in jetpacks to out-of-this-world alien lifeforms, our students will learn how to compose well-drawn cartoon figures in dynamic poses. Get ready for five days of exciting, intergalactic imagery!

3D Modeling & Printing
This innovative new camp brings your ideas to life and allows everyday users to create nearly anything they can imagine. Have a cool idea for an invention? Why not print it? Design anything, and together we make it a reality.
This camp encourages an open-ended design concept. Explore the concepts of 3D printing and computer-aided design to bring your own creations to life! Design a model in preparation for real 3D printing! Take it home and show off your creations to all your friends! The fun doesn’t end when camp does. Continue to improve your skills at home using the same Tinker CAD modelling software you learned at camp with 24/7 access!
App Development with JavaScript
Join this unique experience in which you get to code in JavaScript, test, and create your own apps in real-time using an easy-to-understand format. Kids will dive into the world of coding and explore the use of Arrays, functions, loops, collisions, and much more. The best part about this week is that they’ll be able to save their created apps right to their (or your own) devices for play anywhere, anytime!
Please ensure each child brings a water bottle, snacks and a lunch.
