ARTS & CrafTS

with Karolina Kijanka

Painting and artistry have always been an important part of Karolina’s life. Growing up in a family of artists, creativity has always been celebrated. For Karolina, art is a form of self-expression. Producing artwork is essential to her existence and allows her to explore her feelings and emotions. Living in Vancouver, British Columbia, Karolina draws inspiration from the beautiful nature and outdoors. Her goal as an artist is to establish a new experience for the viewer within the limitations of the canvas.

MAGIC

with Linda Mott & Braydon Mak

You typically know Linda as one of the camp photographers, but she has been doing magic for over 20 years. She fell in love with it as an adult and has done street magic in such places as Germany, Grenada, and the Philippines. She was very popular with her kids friends in elementary school as she would do a magic show at their school every year. She is looking forward to camp next year and taking some magical photos.

Braydon has been amazing people with his magic since he was in grade 7. His favourite part about magic is getting to meet new people and learn fun card tricks to attempt to fool people.
