Looking to keep your kids' hands and minds busy for Pro-D day on Friday?
Parents can sign up their young ones in kindergarten to Grade 5 for a day-long art camp at Place des Arts.
This Pro-D spring camp, which runs from 8:45 a.m. to 3:45 p.m., will focus on the ocean and students can learn about underwater life through music, art, movement and drama classes.
