August 2026Special Weekend Arts and Cartooning Sporting Camp
Sydney based cartoonist Danny Cohen is bringing the world-famous Australian Cartooning Camps to Red Deer for the very first time this August.
Hosted at The Bower Place Community Association, this high-energy weekend combines creative art instruction with interactive games, cartooning workshops, and adventure activities for children aged 4–15 years.
Due to overwhelming demand from families attending our Edmonton camps last year, we were encouraged to bring the Cartooning Camps experience to Red Deer for the very first time.
Kids will enjoy classes in drawing Manga, Mario, Minecraft, Sonic, and Aussie animals, alongside exciting activities including slime making, Nerf battles, shaving cream games, flour fights, and the legendary Market Day.
We would greatly appreciate it if you could share this information with your community.
Thank you for your support!
