What do the Eiffel Tower, the Statue of Liberty and spectacular iron bridges have in common? They are all connected to the genius of French engineer Gustave Eiffel!

This camp will invite students to discover the fascinating world of Gustave Eiffel through three days of creativity, art and hands-on fun. Inspired by his iconic creations, children will explore famous landmarks from Paris to New York while expressing their imagination through painting, clay modelling, collage and 3D crafts.

Children will experiment with colours, shapes and textures, discover different artistic techniques and bring their own architectural masterpieces to life.

A unique artistic adventure where France, creativity, and imagination come together!
