Summer Camps
The Riverview Arts Centre is pleased to carry on the summer camp tradition in Riverview by offering a summer camp program at the Royal theatre to children aged 5 to 16 years old. Registration is now open.
Our summer camp program began five years ago in partnership with Riverview Parks and Recreation. Last year, Riverview Arts Centre fostered an independent program to great success – registration was filled within an hour. We offered art-music-performance sessions over 2 weeks, handling the Covid-19 protocols safely and responsibly, receiving great feedback about camp activities from the parents, and especially from the children.
The upcoming camps are as follows:
- Jul 4th: IMPROV WORKSHOP 2-DAY (AGE 8 AND UP)
- Jul 7th: ARTS AND ATHLETICS CAMP 2-DAY (AGES 9-12)
- Jul 11th: ARTS AND CULTURE CAMP FULL WEEK (AGES 6-9)
- Jul 18th: ARTS AND CULTURE CAMP FULL WEEK (AGES 9-12)
- Jul 25th: RIVERVIEW NEW BRUNSWICK ROCK CAMP (AGES 9-16)
- Aug 2nd: RAINBOW DANCE CAMP 4-DAY (AGES 5-10)
- Aug 8th: LIVE BAIT ACTING CAMP FULL WEEK (AGES 6-9)
- Aug 15th: LIVE BAIT ACTING CAMP FULL WEEK (AGES 9-12)
- Aug 22nd: ADVENTURING THE ARTS CAMP 2-DAY (AGES 6-12)

IMPROV WORKSHOP 2-DAY (AGE 8 AND UP)
July 4th-5th 8:00am – 4:00pm (age 8 and up) Activities will take place between 9:00am – 3:00pm
Ever wondered how an actor can act without a script? Without directors, sets, or even a plan?! During this 2-day workshop we’ll learn the basics of improvisational theatre, play lots of fun improv games, try scenes, and learn to work as a team. We’ll even try long-form plots (all made up on the spot) with a fan-favourite from last summer: Murder Mystery plays. Things are gonna get wacky-zany-weird so get ready to act fast! 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, WE LOVE IMPROV!!
The program will take place at the Riverview Arts Centre’s Royal Theatre.

For any aspiring young athletes in our midst, Arts and Athletics Camp will not be one to miss! This two-day, high-energy camp will challenge campers to channel their inner-champion in organized games of soccer, flag football, and ultimate frisbee. Along the way, campers will learn sportsmanlike values and the importance of teamwork, leadership, and communication, in the pursuit of achieving common goals both on and off the field. The kids will have opportunities to explore other elements of sport beyond the field of play as well… They will have the chance to try their hand at practices such as; broadcasting, providing live commentary, conducting post-game interviews, and even adopting a managerial role in drafting their own “fantasy” teams. Additionally, our team at the Riverview Arts Centre will be highlighting elements of the hugely-relevant, yet often-overlooked, artistic/creative side of sport. Campers will be invited to design their own logos and uniforms for their “fantasy” teams, pick their club’s anthem, and explore ways in which they can use their creativity to enrich their own personal game, while bringing a vibrancy to the game itself.
This program will take place at Casely Park in Riverview from July 7th to July 8th, drop-off (8:00am) and pick-up (4:00pm) will be at the Riverview Arts Centre. We look forward to seeing you there!

Our original rock camps were founded on the belief that students can learn from their peers at all ages, and that music transcends age. These camps provide a great environment for students of different ages and different skill levels to learn and make music together! All experience levels are welcome, ranging from students with absolutely no experience playing an instrument, to students who have been taking lessons for a number of years. This mixed environment allows students to learn from each other. Bands are typically divided based on age, playing level and instrumentation. Students are welcome and encouraged to try new instruments throughout the week!
The program will take place at the Riverview Arts Centre’s Royal Theatre.
